I'm having same problem. Mic works fine on other PC and I've updated to latest driver, restored defaults, set to mic in, tried on Windows recorder, but nothing! Any resolution to this problem anywhere?

I know this thread is a bit old but i was having the exact same problem you guys were with my x-fi card so i went to google to look it up and came across this thread i figured out how to fix it you need to go into the creative volume control program goto the main display and look for the jack icon which looks like this

once in there look under flexi jacks and select microphone then your done!

Hope this helps! im not sure how mine got switched but this worked for me

Man, thank you so much! I registered at this forum only to say this. Really, change Line In option to Microphone at Creative Mixer program settings resolves the problem at . In XP my Mic was working perfectly, but in with Creative Vista drivers no, because of this option.

More one time, thanks!

I cannot get my microphone working either. I have tried 2 different headsets, both of which work on a different computer (w/o a SB card) so I know the microphones are good.

When I open the Creative Mixer in "Entertainment Mode" as you have pictured above, there is no "Jacks" icon. No where in any of the settings have I found somewhere to indicate exactly what I have plugged into this stupid "multi-port" thing.

I guess I can always take the SB card out and just re-enable the built in audio on the MotherBoard. It's very tempting cause then I could find out what a highpowered .308 winchester round can do to a worthless sound card.

look at that first screenshot. see the window that says recording? well, under microphone, there is a unchecked box. that box is the "input selector". select the box under mic, and the one under midi should automatically uncheck.

Plug your mic into the optical input. Works like a charm. I would point out that if you've turned up a bunch of volume settings - turn those down before you blow out your ears.

I am having the same issue with Windows 7 64 bit. I have a x-fi Titanium Fatal1ty edition. However, I do not have the software shown above. Where can I get it so I can correctly configure this card? I could not locate it on the Creative's web site.

Mic on headset does not work on my card but, does work with Motherboard intergrated sound.

Thanks in advance.
