I just recently purchased a Shure SM57 mic, and I got the standard XLR cable with it. When I got home, I remembered that I don't have an XLR connection on my Audigy card, which is what I run into to record on my PC. So, I ordered a XLR to 1/4 adapter from musicians friend, thinking that would solve my problem. Now the problem is, when I hook it up to my PC, the volume is insanely low. Like I have to crank my input all the way up (which gives me a lot of extra noise) and I still have to turn the sound way up on the track itself.
Is there something I need to do, or am I F'd in the A?
