Hi All,

Probably not entirely on topic here, but it is my opinion the
brightest minds in design just happen to lurk here.....

(and hoping to thus have put you in a favorable state of mind:)...

I have a Video Conference program that actively switches the soundcard
microphone boost (or "+20 dB" whatever) off. I can set it "on", but
the VC program switches it off again abruptly. It's a bug in de VC
software I cannot change, nor does the supplier feels like doing it
anywhere soon.

As a result the mike sensitivity is way too low.

Is there any application, command line, program (e.g. in startup),
that makes the microphone boost stay on no matter what commands come
in?

PC: 1.66 GHz Athlon, running XP, C-Media sound on board. Offending
program: Polycom PVX

TIA!
