In Windows Help and Support, search for microphone.

Afternoon,
Also while you are in the Volume Control, click on
OPTIONS and then PROPERTIES and then look to see if there
is a checkmark next to MIC. If there is no checkmark, put
one in.
Hope this helps,

> Also regarding Speech recognition--- It will not work
unless you install a seperate program that will use it. I
think Office XP will work with it. Might want to check
with Microsoft Knowledge Base about it.
I had done some digging and found some info there and I
also checked with HP tech support about it . Need seperate
program to use it or even to change from the Microsoft Sam
voice!!!
Have a good one,
