Microphone not working
I have a microphone that I got from staples, i think its from a company named
Labtec. It works fine on my computer with XP, but when I hook it up to Vista it won't respond. Any ideas? Or do I just have to go and buy a new microphone? |

Right click on speaker icon on the Notification Area of the taskbar,
select Recording Devices, make sure that the microphone input of your audio adapter is set as default. "RedOtter" wrote in message ...

Microphone not working
I've done all the obvious and tested the microphone on my other computers
that run XP. So its not the microphone, the settings are all correct, and its still not working.

If yes, did you also check to see if these drivers are currently offering full support or just basic support which is the case for many soundcards at the moment? -- Michael Solomon |

Or do I just have to go and buy a new microphone? First of all, I have a similar problem. I have a Steelsound Gaming Headset which worked perfectly with my XP laptop. Now I have Vista and I know that the sound card drivers are up to date. The first couple of times I inserted the microphone into the jack there was a Vista pop-up giving 4 options the first of which was "Microphone". Worked perfectly the first time. During the second time, I clicked on the check box which said "Don't ask me this again." and then clicked on the microphone option thinking that Vista will remember that when this device is plugged I want the microphone to activate. But since then whenever I connect the microphone, i am unable to record anything. I have even checked that the device and the settings are correct. Can anyone point me to anything that I might have forgotten or overlooked? Is there any way to bring back the pop-up option that used to work initially? Thanks in advance for any help of advice. Regards, |

You're welcome.
If you find in the future that you cannot see an audio device in the Playback Devices or Recording Devices windows, right click in an empty area of the window and select both "Show Disconnected Devices" and "Show Disabled Devices". -- I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS!
