Miiiiiiiiiiiiiicrophone problems!!
Hello guys, I can use your help again.
My g/f and I just got a webcam and now we want to use Skype along with it. We both have microphones, but we can't get them to work.
I have a 5.1 sound card, the booklet says I should plug the microphone into the center/subwoofer output. But it's not working, no matter what I try with the software... I tried to detect a mic, but doesn't work.
My g/f has the same problem, we found an old (bit crappy) mic, but it doesn't detect it.
I also saw audio ports in her PC, I tried both.
Help please!!!  I don't want to waste my money on a USB mic!

Re: Miiiiiiiiiiiiiicrophone problems!!
Is there a red or pink port on the back of your sound card ? Normally that is the mic in.. Can you take a pic of your and her sound cards so I can look ?

 Not trying to be a smart ass, but I know about muting and stuff. I've selected the mic for recording too, but the PC simply doesn't detect the darn thing!!
I'll take a pic of the card within a few minutes, I want this to work as fast as possible!

Re: Miiiiiiiiiiiiiicrophone problems!!
Yeah thats the one you need for the mic.. Umm.... You shouldn't need drivers..... Under Accessories/Entertainment there is a sound recorder.. Plug your mic into the pink port and then try the sound recorder see if your computer is getting the signal at all

Re: Miiiiiiiiiiiiiicrophone problems!!
Nono, not the program, but the port in my motherboard shows the mic symbol.
I tried the sound recorder, no succes. I don't have another mich to test.
I'm using a pretty crappy headset, but I've never really used it. It's brand new, it should work...
When I try to test my hardware, I get an error, it says: 'Error occured during installation of DirectPlay Voice. Errorcode: 0x8000x4005'
Edit: I started downloading the latest service pack and I'm looking into that DirectPlay Voice.

Re: Miiiiiiiiiiiiiicrophone problems!!
Your search - 0x8000x4005 - did not match any documents.
No pages were found containing "0x8000x4005".... Hrm....
Umm... I'm gonna say double check that error number one more time for me and try and give me a screenshot of it

Re: Miiiiiiiiiiiiiicrophone problems!!
Ok I got the screenshot, I hope you read dutch.
It's code 0x80004005 now, I thought there was an x last time...
Oh yeah, would it work if I installed the latest DirectX, since it got that DirectPlay Voice embedded????

Re: Miiiiiiiiiiiiiicrophone problems!!
ah that icon thing was throwin me off. sounded like he was saying a mic icon poped up when he plugged it in. i was like, wtf, never seen a computer dectect when a mic was plugged in, its a headphone plug. lol.
i'll just let ace help ya with this one  i dont use mics often, and everytime i've seen a problem with em its always been something simple that the person just over looked, like volume settings or motherboard sound was set to surround sounds so the mic port was being used as the back speaker plug or something.

Ms Support..
Yeah I would try updating direct x but if that doesn't work try uninstalling and reinstalling your sound card drivers
