I'm sorry, I didn't include enough of the details. I first tried out the Microsoft installed voice to text. Didn't work well - I was using my iPhone ear piece/mic. So I bought the Dragon setup, in part because it comes with a headset. That's what I was using when I failed the mic test. The earphone part works great but I tried a test recording with the installed recorder feature and that's what sounded weak.
After doing some study, I concluded that the stock sound driver was probably crap, this in part because the operating system had been reloaded by a tech I found after it seized up with spam and couldn't solve it. But there was no operating system restore CD included with it so he used something else, maybe not even a pc system as the new one didn't have a touchpad disabling feature.
Anyone, I dumped the audio driver, or the microphone part anyway and loaded the Realtek. The mic is even worse now, or rather whatever signal it is that the computer receives and turns into audio memory.
There is clearly a lot about this stuff that I don't get.
