re: soundblaster 5.1 live! driver problem (microphone doesnt work) Wednesday, November 8, 2006 at 8:21 pm Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by tom (1 messages posted) I had the same problem too – very low output from my mic that was pluged into my soundblaster live that came with my dell. I installed the newest drivers and playd with all the settings with no luck. Some soundblasters require a special Electret Microphone.
