HDA mic & rec volumes

[John Wright]

Hello,

I've posted before and received help to get my sound up and running on my
Vostro 1500 and I'm very thankful.  The only problem that I still have is
that my mic sound level is very low.  Whether I use the internal mic or a
mic plugged into the jack, i can't get good loud sounds.  When I talk on
Skype the other people can barely hear me, it's not even loud enough to hold
a conversation without literally yelling into the mic.  Krec also records my
voice but again at a very low level.  Any help with getting the full
potential out of my mic will be greatly appreciated.
