Good grief!  It's the driver after all, Tommy?

But what about your "bet", Tommy?

Mic recording low

    I have a powered mic plugged in to the sound card, a Radio Shack
    model.  Since my last post I also discovered the Ymf-diag.exe from
    the knowledge base, downloaded and ran it. I get exactly the same
    results as from running MS sound recorder; very low output either
    directly or if I saved a wave file and played it back.

    On the sound recorder modulation line there is no apparent
    modulation unless I have the mic touching my lips. From a normal
    recording distance (~ 12") there is such a low sound to the
    speakers as to be undiscernable.

Radio Shack mic will not record on Creative PCI 64V card

    This computer is exactly two days old. It did not come with a mic
    so I purchased one from Radio Shack. With two fresh AAA batteries,
    installed, I launched Audio Recorder. No good. I tried to send an
    ICQ voice message; no good. Today I returned the mic to Radio
    Shack & they provided me with a replacement which tested aok on a
    hand-held cassette recorder in the store. INserting the two
    -contact banana plug into the red jack on the sound card proved
    this mic would not work, as well.
