The topic says it all. I've got a new microphone, and whereas it works, it's rather quiet when I try to record it wtih audacity. Most people on skype complain that my voice is rather quiet as well, and I have to basically put the mic in my mouth for them to hear to hear me properly.
Nothing's showed up on dmesg since I've plugged it in, strangely, but it shows up as a selection in audacity and skype (AK5370 :USB Audio (hw:1,0)).
I've got mic boost, capture volume, capture 1, and digital turned all the way up, and those seem to be the only relevant options in alsamixer.
I'm a bit confused, any input?

Starting with the obvious..... did you select the right device in alsamixer? (use F6)
