Summary:                    poor microphone recording quality on pcicmi
Description: 
I have a C-Media PCI CMI8738-MC6 (rev 16) from a Hercules Muse DVD soundd
card.

When recording from a headset microphone, sound quality is really bad: low

volume and quite some noise / distortion.

I have my microphone mixers maxed out, 'Mic boost' is on, 'Mic as
Center/LFE' 
is off.

I've fiddled with all the other options, but they don't seem to affect the

quality.

I do my recording with:

arecord -D hw:1,0 -d 4 test.wav

Under Windows, sound quality is a lot better with the same setup.
