The level - or levels - surprised me, since despite their slight
differences what they have in common is that they're all very low.
That comparison recording was made with Audacity, which needed its
input sensitivity to be at maximum to capture any appreciable signal at
all.

Am I overlooking a Windows 7 master-setting for incoming audio? I've
certainly no recollection of ever seeing one.

Dunno, Bert. I've never actually recorded from a USB mic to Audacity. I
tend to do that via a mixer in analogue from analogue mics. I have an ex
BBC balanced in and out Digigram sound card. Digits are a bit too new for
me. ;-)
