No Volume Control on task bar.  "Start
Button"-"Programs"-"Accessories"-"Multimedia"-no Volume Controls. Under
"Add/Remove Programs Properties, Windows Setup, Multimedia", only
"Multimedia Sound Schemes and Sample Sounds" unchecked. Win98se.

Does mobo AND sound card need to have this function?

I want to get this clarified before buying a more expensive, amplified
microphone, as Doug Simmons suggested.
