However, some systems only have a volume setting and no boost.

If you plug in your ModMic and the volume just isn't loud enough, you can often add increments of +10dB of boost and still have it sound pretty good.

Even high end soundcards sometimes neglect the mic input, focusing all their attention on the headphones and surround sound abilities. Some provide the full 5 volt plug-in-power like they should, others simply don't. You read you can boost the mic gain but you can't find a setting or the settings you have add too much white noise.

We've got a new post that covers mic boost while simultaneously reducing background noise.
