I've noticed that many not only require "Volume" and "Mic" set high but a possible other "slider" that affects it too?? Does your mixer have an obscure additional slider?? I have one card that needs three set and unmuted to work properly... Flail away... Chuck asks if the Mic works OK locally.. Usually Mic inputs are not stereo and one of the pin outs is +5 for an electronic mic.. I could be way wrong depending on the card, etc... Just a thought..
