[arch-general] dynex USB microphone extremely quiet

[Samuel Baldwin]

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?
