Realtek HD Audio Manager - Mic help!

[matty34]

Hey. Im having a biggish problem with my mic, i've heard that realtek makes the problem. Whenever I plug my headset (Saitek GH30 Vibration Headset) into my computers front mic/sound ports, I go into Teamspeak and Counter-Strike Condition Zero and people can hardly hear me! The mic I have has good reviews, saying people can hear them perfectly fine. So I googled about the problem, didnt come across anything helpful, so I thought I'd try the mic out using the ports at the back of the computer. This still doesn't help. They can't hear me. So, what i'm asking is, how the hell can I fix this problem?! I don't exactly want to buy another gaming headset to find out I have the exact same problem! If anyone can help me at all, that would be awesomely awesome. Thanks to anyone who replies, oh and sorry if I confused anyone with what I said. Im just a bit annoyed with the problem now.

Sorry for the block of writing, I don't know why it is like that. I did write in paragraphs.

At the risk of asking the obvious: have you tried going to the mixer panel in the Audio Manager and turning up the mic. volume?

I have done that already.
