Hello Everyone,
I have a DFI Lanparty UT nF3 250Gb motherboard on which I play a lot of games (system 1 on my signiture). A lot of my games i like to talk to others using my microphone but for some reason the microphone works horribly on this system. If i yell at the top of my lungs or blow into it you can hear me, but a normal tone of voice is a soft whisper. Im sure it isnt the microphone itself because it world perfectly on my other computer (system 2 on my signiture).
I have been all throughout the microphone options in my volume control on Windows XP and still nothing but a soft whisper (This includes turning all setting up to maximum). Also, I have installed the newest drivers via the DFI website and still no good.
At this point I have started looking at new sound cards to replace the in-board sound card i have now. The only reasonably priced sound card i have found with good reviews would be the Turtle Beach - Model: Santa Cruz. I was very close to buying it (despite the fact no audio cable is included) untill i noticed there are some reviews were people say the microphone abilities are horrible.
Any help on what I should do, either to fix it so my current motherboard or suggestions on a new sound card (under 75.00 preferred) would be greatly appriciated. Thank you for any help provided.
