Live Value Soundcard: Mic record level too low (1/29/2002) http://delltalk.us.dell.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=dim_audio&message.id=21877 so i contacted Dell tech support they advised me to uninstall the soundcard and reinstall it. I did that and it made no difference.

(8/29/05) http://delltalk.us.dell.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=dim_audio&message.id=60002 Dell tech support insisted I reformat my hard disk and reinstall everything.
