well here's what I was getting at:

get the volume control open Start->programs->acccessories->entertainment->volume control

or double click on speaker icon on task bar

then go to options->properties->adjust volume for recording. Select Mic and pump up the volume. That's just one thing it could be. Cos by default I think it selects the CD or Stereo Mixer as the recording source
