Thanks for the input; that was more or less my

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...
That SBLive card may have had a pre-amp in it (but probably not a very
good one). If you need something small and not too expensive, the
M-Audio Audio Buddy is a nice little pre-amp, and with a very small
footprint (it can easily fit into a should bag or laptop case).
