3. In the Properties window, select the Recording radio button.
4. Under the Show the following volume controls list, select all listed components and click OK.

6. Under the Microphone device, you will now see an Advanced button, click it.

7. Select (or if needed unselect) the Microphone Boost check box.

The Advanced button is sometimes found under the "Playback" section of the audio properties. This depends on your computer manufacturer.
