Sounds like a mic pre-amplification problem.
Are you using the mic with an external mixer/pre-amp or plugging directly into the soundcard - I'd guess the latter.
If this is the case - and assuming the noise floor at line level is OK - then you need a decent external mic pre-amp or mixer. If the noise floor is suspect anyway, buy a decent card.

If someone understands how to assemble electrotechnical components the following link might be useful:

For few $/DM/Euro you can get a proper quick-and-easy mic-pre-amp for your soundcard.

What sound card are you using? Many consumer models do not have decent preamps, and the mic input is really not designed for mic level signal input.
