Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone has ever been able to resolve the issues that
exist with the sound card below and the low gain of the internal
microphone of the laptop. The mic works and so does the external one
when plugged, the problem is that the volume of everything captured by
the internal mic extremely low and almost impossible to hear sometimes.
The external mic works very well and the sound it captures is very audible.

Any ideas as to what my resolve the issue?
I have tried the line below but it didn't change anything apart from
making the external microphone not work properly.
