Gerald, what do you mean you're not getting much? Much in the way of signal? Or you want more messages?

You really need to use the line level input (usually a blue socket), rather than the mic level one (usually a red socket) as that has a pre-amp in the signal path...

If you're using a laptop or crappy dongle that only has a mic input then try turning the level right down for that input using the sound mixer in Windows, or whatever you are using.
