No response to this.  Why don't you help out?

Low Mic Volume?  (10/29/05)
http://delltalk.us.dell.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=dim_audio&message.id=61754

    I have read several posts about the low mic volume on Dimension
    Desktops with the Soundblaster 24k Sound Card but unfortunately I
    haven't found any of them with a solution.  Is there to date a
    solution for this?

    I bought my pc for the purpose of Voice chatting that I use for
    business purposes on a daily basis and would really appreciate
    any fix for this.
