I can attest to this. I have a 9100 with Audigy 2 ZS, and I too have to 
SCREAM with the mic to my mouth to hear myself. I KNOW about computers, and 
build them, so I know what I am doing.  I put my RETAIL SB Audigy 2 ZS in 
the system, and the MIC input is FINE!  How do you explain that?

I contacted DELL, and of course, they sent a guy over with a new sound 
card -- NO DIFFERENCE, and I even demonstrated the difference with the DELL 
Audigy and my retail Audigy 2, - made 2 files in Adobe Audition and showed 
the tech the noticeable difference in the wav representations, and he 
commented on it.

Before he even got started I told him this was all a waste of time, and when 
he was done, he basically agreed with me.  Next step will be a motherboard 
replacement, but I am not even going to bother.   I've gone through too many 
stupid unrelated things for DELL to appease them, but I'm not going to do it 
anymore.  They system is fine with my retail card, and I will leave it in.
