I bought a Audio-Technica ATR3350 (ATR35s) and have plugged it into my microphone port on my motherboard (pink 3.5mm jack).

For some reason though, i have to have the microphone touching my lips to get any sound.

The volume is turned up on the mic settings to 100 and volume boost on 0db, but if i put it to 30db you can hear it but can also hear a lot of fuzzyness in the background too which clearly isn't right.

How can i adjust this if it's already on 100?

Using windows 7 by the way and the mic only has an on/off switch.

Thanks,

Andy
 
For anyone else wondering, it seems that Windows 7 and realtek audio doesn't like microphones full stop, unless they are USB based.

Back to using my webcam i guess :(
