    hey, I'm having an issue with my microphone. It seems very quiet in win7, I have problems ingames with people understanding clearly what I say. I have top end steelseries headphones with mic, I went throught properties on microphone to setup levels to 100%, apparently that's microphone boost, just called levels in win7.
    Does anyone else experience this, any ideas how to increase microphone output ?

    did you try upgrading the sound drivers, or are you using the default that came with 7?

    Yeah I had this same problem, make sure you look through the audio options to turn it up.
