I plug in my 20 year old Peavey mic into the “Line – in 2/mic 2” plug on my Audigy 2 Platinum, put on a pair of headphones and wail away. The results came out very muffled and at a low volume




You don't need a mic, you need a MIC PREAMP to bring the mic level signal up to the level that the soundcard's line input requires.

A mixer can do that and so can a dedicated microphone preamp.
