This computer is less then 6 months old and the Mic is not working properly. It has a very low volumn on the receiving end. I have used two different mic's, one brand new and an older one. Both pluged into the sound board with the same results. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help.

Sounds like a weak or missing Phantom Power Supply. This power is supplied by the source "mixing console" and can be turned off on many models of consoles. If you have a smaller and lower end mixer it is possible it does not provide the needed Phantom Power. Also if the mic cable is incorrectly wired the Phantom Power is not being properly supplied to the mic. This also could damage the mic by putting the voltage on the wrong pin connections. Pin 1 is ground, pins 2 and 3 are audio high and low. Sorry I do know the exact connection for 2 and 3. The user/owners manual may supply the correct wiring information. A store bought cable of good quality should already be wired correctly.
Can this system be enabled/adjusted by a wireless remote? If so someone else in the house might be using a tv/stereo remote on the same frequency. Possibly even your neighbor's garage door opener.
Greetings! Ok, your amp has an XLR (3-prong) Low-Impedance input on Channel 1 for a Mic. All the other inputs are 1/4" High Impedance inputs, which are for instruments and/or other High Impedance items including low quality High Impedance Microphones. The SM48S is a high quality Low Impedance microphone, so if you use it with a 1/4" plug, it will be in a High Impedance channel, and will be very LOW in volume in comparison with everything else. So, you must use an XLR (3 prong) cable from the Mic to the Channel 1 input on your amp. That will do the trick. Good Luck with your new amp and Mic!
No, just go through your skype setting testing you microphone, if there's not one built into your laptop (Check user guide) then you need an external one.
You may also need to check the sound configuration on your laptop, make sure that the Microphone is turned on.
Yes it is normal, the 608 is a THX certified receiver, so it goes by THX reference levels.
In theory once you have run the Audyssey auto-setup with the included mic the proper reference level for watching movies will be 82 if the volume number scale is set absolute or 0dB of it is set to THX relative. At this setting the volume should be the same as watching that movie at the theater. I have mine set to power-on at a level of -30dB which corresponds to level 52 on the scale you have it set to. This is a comfortable lowish level, but I turn it up to at least -10dB AKA 72 when watching movies.
The voltage difference will not matter. This sounds like it is a poorly designed power supply. I suggest calling Shure Parts (800-516-2525, option 3) to order a new power supply that will work with the L4 receiver.
The powered subwoofer should be connected to the black subwoofer output near the bottom of the receiver in just about the center. A subwoofer uses line level signals and has its own amplifier, Good chance that you wiped out a channel. Put the wiring back the way it was, and IF the channel was not directly connected to the speaker terminals, MAYBE, JUST MAYBE it will still work.
Chances are slim...
Unfortunately, in order to reduce costs and prices, especially in the low-end group, the motherboard manufactureres stared using less good materials thus leading to problems of all sorts that can occur in less than 1 year after the purchase. Luckly for you, even though it's 5 months, it still has warranty. Nonetheless, if you overclocked it, that could be another cause for its failure.
