You really didn't tell us what you want to do with the microphone. Based on
your subject (speech), I'll try to answer. Windows XP includes the
underlying support for speech-to-text technology but it does not include
the software for it. You'll need to install speech software (Dragon for
example) or programs that include speech-to-text such as the MS Office XP
applications.

Also... By default the microphone is muted in Volume Controls. Open Volume
Controls. Click on Options> Properties. Check the box next to Microphone to
add it to Volume Controls. Then uncheck the box next to Mute.

Whenever you record with the microphone, use Options> Properties. Move the
radio button from Playback to Record and select Microphone.
