Narration Premier Elements 2018

I am trying to add narration to my video project. I have the editing in advanced mode and all the video and audio from my gopro comes through fine.

I went through tutorials to find out how to "turn on" the microphone option for the program, and I plugged in the microphone to my desktop computer.

I hit tools and narration and started talking then hit stop. I file went into my "project assets" and I moved it onto the time line (in the audio narration track)

But it is way to soft. I can just hear that there was something recorded but I can not get the volume up.

I tried increasing the volume at the microphone pop up box and I tried increasing the "yellow rubber band" on the audio track neither did anything to the volume.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong or make a suggestion?

Thank you
