When you reinstalled the O/S did you install the drivers for the soundcard
(onboard or pci/external)?

I have never actually use a microphone or headset, but.... In "Sounds and
Audio Devices Properties" in the Audio tab select Volume in the Sound
Recording box. Try putting a check mark in the Select box under microphone
and set the volume 1.2 way. Last ditch effort FWIW.
