Try this....
go to CONTROL PANEL
then to SOUND, SPEECH, AND AUDIO DEVICES
from there go to SOUNDS AND AUDIO DEVICES
that will bring up a SOUNDS AND AUDIO DEVICES PROPERTIES pop-up
it will have 5 tabs across the top...choose VOICE
then click VOLUME under the VOICE RECORDING section
adjust the volume slider & try recording again.
