Open the Mixer control and verify that the Microphone channel has been unmuted. Check that the microphone is on and speak into it. Be careful not to wave the microphone directly in front of any loudspeakers (if they are on). |

how to set up microphone
It doesn't work. follow is my problem :
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ the problem is windows does not detect the microphone and no icon show on tool bar. Also when enter control panel sound and voice can not find the microphone. Does it a sound driver problem ? I have one desktop and one notebook both have the problem. Any good idea ? Thx "GHalleck" ... 123 wrote: Hello, I am using winxp sp2 home edition, can anyone teach me how to set up microphone ? many thx Plug the microphone jack into its respective plug on the front panel, sound card or back I/O panel of the case.

The system has to detect and install the sound card or the motherboard's integrated sound hardware. You can identify what sound hardware your computer is using by running the DirectX diagnostic (DXDIAG at the Windows XP "Run" prompt). For any further inquiries please relay the device name and driver version listed on the diagnostic's sound tab, which allows others with similar hardware to check their driver versions against yours. If a microphone doesn't work on two different computers I would start to wonder if the microphone was working properly. It might have a damaged element or broken conductor in the wire or plug. Also check for a mute switch on the microphone, also a potential failure point. If you have integrated motherboard sound hardware, which you would if the microphone jack is on the plate where a tower system's USB and Ethernet ports are, the sound hardware would have to be active in your CMOS settings. CMOS setup operation varies between different computer manufacturers. Many manufacturers display prompts indicating how to enter "Set UP" within the Power On Self Test (POST) that is performed when the computer is first turned on. Notebooks that feature microphone and headphone jacks normally have integrated sound hardware on the motherboard. The common type of external speakers won't appear on the list either. Those were originally marketed as speakers to substitute for headphones attached to pocket audio cassette players similar to the Sony Walkman. The only type of speaker or headphone that would appear would be ones that attach to the USB port, which would appear in the device manager and DirectX diagnostic's "Sound" tabs. |
