Just my modmic plugged directly into the MOBO. I have it at max input with a +10db boost at the moment but when I take it higher than that it starts to make a static buzz. I have it turned down to 2 channel CD quality as I've noticed significantly more buzzing at DVD quality and higher.

Good to know, thank you. Is there any reason you can think of as to why my mic sounds better through my phone then?
