Yeah and make sure that "20db mic boost" is clicked in the
sound properties. Sometimes you have to go into the "Advanced"
controls to see it, and if the mic slider isn't there you have
to go into the properties and check the box for it to show up.

Let me add that you will probably have reduced output from each
mic due
to the impedance problem.
