Hi,
Thanks for the input; that was more or less my intention in the short to
mid term. However, for right now, I meant to run it directly in and
didn't expect any problem, as this very same mic used to perform okay
going into my old SBLive. But I guess maybe that card had better gain...
Thanks,
S.M.

Yes a cheap small desk will help,
or the Behringer Mic 100 is very cheap and not bad quality.
A mic direct into the PC will be very low.

Well, the subject line pretty much says it all; I
plug a microphone in
the mic jack of the on-board sound chip and, when recording, the level
is very low. Turning on "MIC Boost" does help a very little, but that's
about it; raising "Capture" over 85% yields a sound not unlike an idling
car. Looking around on the internet, I could find information about low
playback level problems with this card, but nothing regarding recording
levels. Anyone has any idea on what the matter might be? See full
information below.
You probably need a microphone pre-amp to get the signal up to a level
appropriate for recording. I wouldn't expect a whole lot of audio
quality going direct into the onboard audio hardware like that.
