Sorry to hear that. Did you try increasing the Max Level option?
I also use the scream setting myself and it did take a while of tweaking things before it became reliable. For me the Max Level is about 2.5 and i have compression on.
I'll look into things in th code but without your own microphone i can only test with the setup i have.
i have played around with the settings too, even adjusting the max levels and playing with the compression and the sound filter, what i have found is that sometimes the tweak's makes it too insensitive and other times too sensitive, its a lot of fine tweaking that to me makes it difficult to get the right tuning, often times ill even have to re-tweek as the audio would just suddenly become over sensitive.
