   I have my mic volume all the way up, the booster on, and its still
   way too quiet.  I had to practically put the mic in my mouth.

   I have been through every switch, slider and control with
   XPS Advanced support at least twice. This isn't a user error.

   I think I have seen every single volume control slider that exists
   in the system, XP, Creative, etc.

If the problem is Windows settings adjustment, why then Dell Techs
advise these?

   so i contacted Dell tech support they advised me to uninstall the
   soundcard and reinstall it. I did that and it made no difference.

   They told me to uninstall the windows sound recorder and reinstall
   it, that made no difference either,

   they told me to uninstall the whole of windows multimedia
   I did that and it made no difference

   A Dell tech wanted to reinstall the multimedia part of xp. When I
   asked why, the Dell tech said there's possible conflict. I asked
   why then Dell shipped out systems with possible -- known --
   conflict.

   Dell tech support insisted I reformat my hard disk and reinstall
   everything.
