I had the same problem, it took me a while to figure it out. I am going from
memory, but I think it is correct.

First of all, you want to mute the microphone in your standard volume controls.
This may sound weird, but not being muted is what causes it to amplify back
through the speakers.

Second, from your AWE 64 program group off your start menu, open the mixer
application. You should see a slider for the mic. Just above it is a little icon
in a box. Click on the icon so you see red "sound waves" in it. The microphone
should now be enabled.
