Off Topic / Line In mic too quiet on Windows 10

Hey all, long time no type
So basically, im just trying to record some covers and stuff, maybe a few voice overs with my MXL V63M, i have it plugged into a phantom power supply with an XLR to a 1/4" jack, which is then plugged into a 1/4" female to 3.5mm male adapter so i could plug it into my line in jack on my PC. I'v had this problem with other PC's before as well. I'v tried to plug it into my normal mic jack but the quality drops drastically, when its plugged into the Line in jack, i cant adjust much other than overall volume on the mic, theres no boost or anything, no effects in the sound setting on windows or anything, it only stays on CD quality as well. When its in the normal Mic jack on the front of the pc, like i said, the quality drops drastically, but im able to adjust the boost and volume of the mic, plus it comes through way louder than in Line In. It also seems to cut in and out whenever i sing at higher volumes.
Does anyone know why this is happening? Could it be the driver? I wouldnt think it would be since all my drivers are updated and all my equipment is in working order.
