Right-click the speaker icon in the system tray, select Recording Devices,
then select the microphone and Properties. Choose Levels and adjust as
required.

May be you can help me - I have a reverse problem - I want to mute the
incoming signal - how to do it? Victor

Have an HP dv9823CL (dv9000 series) and was going to use this for disc
jockey use like I have in the past with win XP - never had a problem
using my microphone as a live input, was able to use my laptop as my
mixer, not needing an external mixer. With this laptop I cannot get any
mic playback options, even with registry hacks and edits I've seen on
other forums, that will allow live mic playback with this audio driver,
Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221 it does not seem too "SMART"
because it will not allow what I have been able to do since windows 95!
An upgrade should add new features to an existing operating system, to
go to Vista now seems like a downgrade because I cannot do what I used
to be able to do. I have talked to HP tech support and they just say to
turn up the recording volume of the mic. NO that does not work, I'm not
trying to record, I'm trying to use the mic in a live situation of a DJ
or while playing karaoke and someone sings through the mic. This HAS to
be live and in real time. STUPID vista or maybe it is Conexant who I
thought made modems, not sound cards. HP trying to save money... now
conexant skimps on audio driver options, and this is supposed to be an
ENTERTAINMENT PC. Any other suggestions anyone? If not, I'm returning
this laptop or trying to downgrade to XP on it, although I'm not too
sure there's an XP driver for this laptop chipset.

I'd return it while you can. It is doubtful that you will be able to do what
you want.
The last time I got into this, it was a driver limitation, with no planned
update to solve the problem..

Still no help with this issue? :[ I bought a dell laptop a while back in
hopes to use it for music and recording, but I'm experiencing this
problem too. Carpeens is right. No one understands that we don't have
some options that people tell us to go to, or we have already been at
those options and they simply do not help with the issue!

Depends on the sound card, read through the manual for it's settings or
check on the web.

SOLUTION:

I was losing hope reading the replies but I figured it out for myself.
With Vista - right click the volume control icon in task tray ( bottom
right ) NOT the Realtek Audio Manager and select Recording devices.
Locate your input and right click it. --- Properties --- Enhancements
--- Select "Immediate Mode" which is their awful way of describing live
playback from speakers. I had to crank the volume to get the desired
volume but there are solutions for that as well. Hope this helps people
with my problem.
