Thread: Getting my microphone working

Hi, I have just got a microphone for my computer, external desk one, have put in correct jack, and made sure the volume is not muted, done all the configuration but its just not picking up any sound at all.

Can anyone help me get it working, (its not the mic as have tried a head set one to and cannt get that working either) I have also typed the command in run and muted playback, I just dont know what to do? Could i need a new sound card if so which one?

Thanks

Tom

hi,

Do you know what sound card you have or if its build into your motherboard, what your motherboard model is, it could be a problem/configuration with the sounds card!!

it is built in, how do I configure it etc? its a fairly new computer using windows xp so i would have thought it would be good enough to use a mic on it? help

do you know the make and model of your motherboard or the make and model of the computer as this will help a lot

thanks

its a Time S35 computer, with AMD sempron processor, windows xp

I cant seem to find any infomation on that system, could you therefore have a look at you device list and see if you can identify the audio device on your motherboard

thanks
