Microphone is really too quiet if i'm not REALLY close to it (like touching my mouth). It used to work fine and loud from about 4 - 5 feets away before :S what can i do??

Thing I already tried:

-Windows volume level at max.
-Boost +30dB.
-Same in VIA HD Audio Deck (full Vol and amp +30dB).
-Enhancements checked/unchecked (both options).
-Exclusive control from application checked/unchecked.
-Re-installed drivers (I tried even without drivers, just let windows install them on its own).
-Tried other mic.

Didn't got a solution :(

+Guess the problem started when I did a clean Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit installation a few weeks ago. Previously I had the same OS and there was no problem...
+I've been using this one for years and had no problem until now: http://www.cgsinformaticas.com.ar/carrito/product_pics/HEADSET NOGANET SK-916.jpg

Obs:
1_ Does drivers have something to do with Voltages levels reaching the mic at the sound card?
2_ Is there any possibility of having installed a wrong driver that is in conflict with the right one?

Any help is welcome, thank you!
