            there's no direct sound in Vista
            it's all per-program
            so whatever program you are using you have to adjust it's settings
            or look in the volume mixer
            ......
            eight,eight,two,eight,eight,four,two
            ......

              Right click the volume icon in the bottom right hand corner. Click on recording devices. Double click microphone. Click the level tab and adjust how loud it is there.

                  vista doesn't suck... people are just not use to the new features and settings. people said XP sucked till they got use to all the settings.

                    Yeah I did that. It still sucks. I checked google and a lot of other people had the same problem and couldn't fix it. The volume stays too low. I was trying to record a demo tape for my lil bro with Acoustica Mixcraft. Had to dig up my old lap top with XP and it works like a charm. I'm thinking about sticking with XP for a while.

                      go to control panel -> Sound -> Recording, make sure your mic is plugged in.

                          right click volume icon in the system tray.
                          select Recording Devices
                          Select your Microphone from the Recording tab
                          Select Properties...
                          Make sure device is enable
                          click Custom tab, check Mic Boost
                          Select Level tab increase to about 80
                          Advance tab change the format if you llike, select apply
                          Then open open up the Recording prorgam and record a sound clip.

                          i had the same issue. vista doesn't suck just confusing and takes getting use too. security settings are a pain in the butt, i wasn't able to save to my C:\ root the first day. Had to call MS support, disabled all security... little to much protection for me. good for newbies though.

                                Did you try downloading new drivers for your sound card? I know creative has released a few different vista drivers for audigy series cards because they can't get their shit together. They even stated themselves that vista exposed bugs in their drivers so they keep releasing new builds.
