Hi,
I also have the same problem (Roccat Kave 5.1).
I'm on Win7 64bit SP1, i have the latest sound drivers and the latest BIOS. The sound is excellent and all five, but the mic is just too quiet.
My friends barely hear me talking, especially while we playing a game.
Purely to mention that i never had these problems with another brand motherboard.

Very Strange!
Did you set the audio device output AC97 or HD audio mode in the bios manual?

I set it to HD audio in BIOS.

When Mic boost is active then ppl hear more distorsion then me. On my old Asus 890GTD pro/usb 3 i didnt had any problems.
I tried front and back panel and its the same.
PS: I tried Mic on laptop and its working perfect there.
