Is the microphone built into the computer? If so, the problem may be that the filter on the sound card is off that eliminates noise picked up by the microphone. Perhaps sound forge has such a filter in the program and it may be on. I don't know what you know about finding things in sound card settings. For now, I'll tell you to look in the recording settings for your sound card. Open properties and move to advanced in the properties dialog. Tab through the items and see if there is a check box for enabling signal processing or some similar wording. Check the check box and then find and activate all ok buttons as you back out of the two or three layers of dialogs. The setting may cause other changes you don't like. In the case of my sound card, having it on makes what I record with the built in microphone sound a little artificial because it changes the attack and decay of words. That's to eliminate unwanted background noise. Speech sounds a little artificially filtered for that reason. And if you are too far away, parts of words are often clipped off because they fall below the sound threshold allowed to be recorded. the best solution would be to use an external microphone.
