Mic not working properly

Hey guys i use my mic for talking ingames such as BF2 and i have just put it a new motherboard graphics card and CPU. When i try using my mic it is really quite even when the mic is turned up full. I dont know why that is because it was works fine on diffrent computers and it was working fine before i upgraded. I have tried it out on sound recorder and i can hardly hear it on my computer. I am using on board sound, the mic is up max on the c-media 3D Audio Configuration and on the normal sound settings. Any ideas? My motherboard is a Gigabyte 915P. Thanks

I am not sure, but can you redo the voice configuration, I havent done this in a long time, but there might be a way to adjust the pick-up and out put mic lvls.

Try this : control panel > sound and audio devices > voice (its a tab) > volume (its a button) > then turn the microphone all the way up.

1- ACLerok, you don't need to bump it because it's gone 50 mins without a response... we don't live on this forum, be patient and you'll get the help you most likely need within 24 hrs
2- Why are you bumping it anyways?? I know you have a similar problem, but you've got your own thread

Just a thought. What speakers are you using and how are they configured on the system? If you use a 5.1 speaker system with only the 3 standard jacks, the mic is used as a speaker jack insead. Check the Advanced tab under Sound Devices and see what speaker config you have listed. Make sure it matches yours - preferably desktop stereo.

Is the mic jack in the back of the pc or the front panel? If you're using the front, have you tried the back?
