From the look of your other post:

I am so fed up with this issue as well. I use a USB microphone and also bought an M Audio Podcast Factory USB preamp, including microphone and cannot get a decent input level in Garage Band or any other Mac application. Bottom line is, the sound card in my iMac is crap!! I have to literally have my mouth on the mic to get anything at a decent level. All of the forums out there have people reporting low input levels on all macs. The cheezy little built-in mic picks up sound better. Unfortunately, the Macs suck at external microphone input!!! They are crap....nuff said!!!!!

I'd say there's an issue with your sound settings. When you use a USB mic, the soundcard doesn't actually do anything... the processing is all done in the mic itself.
This mic easily gets enough input level to distort in Garageband, so volume definitely isn't an issue.
Are you sure your USB mic was selected in the Garageband preferences?
