    This seems to a problem a LOT of people are having with HP/Compaq notebooks. I uploaded a modified driver (to increase mic volume) for the dv6000 series in a thread here in the HP forum, but as I don't have an affected machine, I can't test if it works.

    Once someone can confirm if the levels are better with my modification, I'll post directions on how to modify the driver to allow higher recording levels.

    Send it over, I'll test it out, I'm using a MSI notebook, but I'm getting low mic volume too. [email protected]
