Hi Mr. Grimhowl...
I have virtually identical problem. I'm using a mic which recorded superbly under XP Pro on my old set-up.
It's now plugged in to my new PC (front mic) under Win 7, but even with input level full and boost at 30dB the recorded sound level is far too low (and the noise level far too high) to make any decent recordings.
I used to be able to play/sing comfortably 2-3 feet away from mic; now I have to be a couple of inches to get anything more than a whisper.
I tried various driver downloads, and using the rear mic socket but nothing has improved it yet.
My new PC is an AMD AthlonII X4 630 (with onboard sound I assume). And it looks as if I'm running VIA High Definition Audio software.
Any ideas please.... Recording is a significant part of my life...
Cheers, Dave T
