Microphone problem

the1greg · 07-08-2008, 12:03 PM

hi i have a small problem with my headset mic. I recently re-installed windows* and ever since no sound is being recieved, i have tried to use windows sound recorder, adobe soundbooth, xfire and ventrilo to pick up sound and nothing is working however the speakers on the headset still play out sound.

cheers, Greg

*When i first built this rig the mic did not work for a few days but i tried it a few days later and it worked somehow.

Hi,
I am assuming you've already checked to make sure all mutes are off. I am also assuming it is your xp pro machine. What type of mic is it? Have you reinstalled the driver?

Do you have another mic you can try? Also, try voice recognition software

and see if it can hear you alright.
