I have checked every single setting I can think, and a few other places recommended to me by folks on this list, including the system tray volume control, but the mic boost remains elusive. I am very familiar with the location of the mic boost setting, as I had it on a former PC and changed it

hi I've sort of been helping Lynn solve this issue and i mentioned the 20 db boost, but it doesn't seem to be in the same place as mine is. I've got a SB Live!Audigy 2, and the 20 db boost checkbox is there, but only after you press the advanced buttton in playback controls for the microphone.
