Hello,

I have an Optimus Unidirectional Dynamic Microphone (something similar, but not the same like http://support.radioshack.com/suppor...c61/61692.pdf). The differences are minor in the specifications. I'm trying to hook this up to my computer. I have all the correct cables to plug it in, but when I try to record it, the volume is really low, even though I have all my sound settings high. The question is: [b] is this a "soundcard problem" or a "microphone problem"? When I hook in a CD player through line in, the sound is normal/loud. Same thing goes for a normal talking microphone (made for computers). Are the Optimus Microphones not made for digital (computer) environments? Or is my sound card struggling on these microphones? My soundcard is just a general Creative Live! SoundBlaster card. I'll have more specs when I find them, sorry.

Thanks in advance,
alacritous
