Hey guys,

I just installed a new mobo with my windows 7, and the sound mic volume is so low. with everything turned up i need to scream to even kind of hear myself on playback. I read this was an issue with windows 7 so what is the fix?

Mobo is ASrock 970 Extreme 3 and Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.

Thanks!

What do you mean "with everythig turned up"? Did you go into the Mic properties and adjust the levels there? Sound>Recording tab>make sure mic says working>click properties > Go to custom tab> Check or clear mic boost as needed> click Levels tab and adjust the slider as needed. Apply and ok/close.
