So i recently got a Steelseries Siberia v2 headset from my wife, and when i use the voice command in any game people say I'm really low and they can't hear me, same thing happens when I'm using Skype, right now im using a independent card that is like 6 years old, could that be the problem?
 
There are 2 input sockets usually, mic and line in.
Mic should have an option to boost the signal in the sound cards driver config, so best to use that socket.

First thing to try is putting the microphone closer to your mouth if possible.
 
The microphone is boosted to the highest and if i were to put the mic any closer to my mouth i would eat it, but ill have to check the whole mic in and line in thing, cause i just plugged it in according to what it has labeled as the microphone socket on the card, thanks^^
 
If you already have a mic boost, then you are using the right socket.
Maybe the microphone is damaged.
Try another microphone and see if you get a better result.
