Mic problems
 

I just bought a new microphone for my computer, and it doesnt seem to work. My old one didnt work, and I assumed it was borken or something, but I guess it was just my cheap ass PC. Maybe there's something else I need to do, so thats what I'm trying to figure out. I plugged it in, doesnt work. I searched for new plug and play devices, computer didnt find anything. I searched for non plug and play, and the computer didnt find anything. I manually installed software for that specific brand of microphone, and it still doesnt work.

Any help would be much appreciated.

you try opening up the volume control and taking the Mic off mute? :D

I'm way ahead of you, thanks anyway though

Did you go into the sound control panel and turn everything on? Is the microphone inserted in the correct jack?

I fixed the problem. Thanks for the help GM and Null.

Ive been having the same problem...ever since we got a new Sound card last year(I think its a crappier one), I cant get my MIC to work either. Dunno why, ive gone into the volume control stuffs and everything...and im plugging it in the MIC jack...but Im getting a new computer in like a month hopefully so Im not too concerned.

The jacks in my computer are backwards for some reason. The headphone is speaker and the speaker is headphone. :unsure:
