Xp & Mic

[Hans]

I have on 2 different computers XP Pro running , installed 3 days ago.

It works fine but I have a problem with the microphone on both computers I
can't get it working

I have changed the mic's and they are in good condition.

In volume control + advance the settings are correct mic on boost as well,
no mute is on

The 2 different Sound cards and drivers are ok

Last week with Win 2K installed it all worked fine

Do I need to install Speech to get the mic working in XP

I have been searching for 3 days who can help me

Thanks

[Wesley VogelX]

Hans;
You do not need to be concerned with Speech Recognition, unless that is what
you are trying to do.
Try the following to test your mike:
To open Sound Recorder, click Start, point to Programs, point to
Accessories, point to
Entertainment, and then click Sound Recorder.
To record a sound:
1.. Make sure you have an audio input device connected to your computer.
Example of audio input device: microphone.
2.. On the File menu, click New.
3.. To begin recording, click Record . Say a few words.
4.. To stop recording, click Stop .
To play a sound:
1.. On the File menu, click Open.
2.. In the Open dialog box, double-click the sound file you want to play.
3.. Click Play to start playing the sound.
4.. Click Stop to stop playing the sound.

Hope this helps. Let us know.

Hans;
Let me start by asking a dumb question. Do you have other sounds? CD,
MIDI, System Sounds?
I just pulled out my microphone and dusted the cob webs off it. I have not
used it for five years. In fact, I plugged it into the old on-board Sound Card
mike jack. I forgot that I had added a Sound Card. I got it plugged into the
correct jack.
I did this: Control Panel/Sounds and Audio Devices/Voice tab/Test Hardware
button/ran through the deal/clicked both Volume buttons/made adjustments.
Worked fine.
I opened Sound Recorder and made a recording and played it back.
Not to insult you, is the mike plugged into the correct jack? Microphone
(Red), Line-In (Blue) If you are plugged into the Line-In jack the mike may
still work (even though the Impedance [Z] may be wrong) but the volume would be
controlled from Line-In not Microphone.
What do you have for a Sound Card? I have a Creative SoundBlaster PCI512.
Try this: Open Control Panel/Sounds and Audio Devices/Hardware
tab/highlight your Sound Card/click the Properties button/Properties tab/click
the + next to Mixer Devices/Does it list one?/highlight it and click the
Properties button/is use mixer feature on this device selected?
Post back.

Hi Wes,



Thanks again for your help



The Mic is in the correct jack these things are red in color and the same
place as before.



Yesterday I put back an image of Win 2k and checked the settings there I
could open the advance in voice section



The playback etc works well that I have checked many times



I have done test hardware like you explained.



I have two computer with the same problem so its easy to compare them



Under hardware the sound card drivers are in in No.1 OK

The comp it is brand new and with a build on motherboard sound device
C-Media AC97 Audio device, when I expanded it I found the Midi devices and
Mixer devices I had them on and off and that worked when off

no sound at all.



I have done a sound recording test, nill



The other comp. has a VIA AC’97 audio controller on both I have checked the
drivers



Further there is Legency Audio driver



I also loaded the Win XP disk and did optional components install



MSN explorer

Management & tools

Accessories & utilities

IIS

But no difference, so I did a system restore and uninstalled it



I have ask a friend to come and see if he can help, but it is funny why I
have this on 2 computers



Regards



Hans

Hi Hans;
You bet. Computers are fun aren't they? ;o) It is really tough trying to
troubleshoot long distance. OK, you say, "no sound at all." If I understand
you correctly, not a mike problem then.
This is acommon XP problem.

Go here:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/top10faqs.htm
Scroll down to, "Where did my sounds go?" Click the ? to expand. Scroll
through and see if anything applies to your problem.

Hi Hans;
I misunderstand a lot of stuff. Sorry I could not be of more help.
Please post back with what you find. If I can't help and you get it figured
out, you would probably be helping someone else. :o)

Hope this helps. Let us know.
