hello, haven't posted in awhile because of meningitis.
Anywho!
I recently bought a Diamond Xtreamesound 7.1 sound card. this is NOT the DDL version FYI. I installed the card, after uninstalling my turtle beach riviera drivers. I then installed Diamond's drivers. Once installed, I followed the reboot procedure, and had much better sound. The only problem is that my microphone didn't work!
I checked that it was plugged in, which is was to the little pink jack with the microphone on it. I did notice that in the mixer options that the device WAS detecting my voice, it just didn't record in audacity, ventrilo, or Second Life.
This made mevery upset and I reverted back to the turtle beach, now when I reinstalled the drivers/software for the turtle beach card, the mixer changed from being a turtle beach mixer to the default windows mixer, which didn't affect the volume as much, so now my microphone is extremely quiet, and I no longer have any access to the "microphone boost" option, which would probably help me. Also, mic volume is on max...
so the problem boils down to:
--Xtreme sound detects voice, but does not record or process it through any programs
--Turtle Beach having different UI in mixer, and no longer have access to Mic boost options, which means VERY quiet mic.
Any ideas why the Xtremesound didn't like my microphone, and/or can you help me get my microphone louder on my computer so people can actually hear my voice with the riviera?
Thank You,
Phenique
