| 140611 | 2003-05-05 00:57:00 | You're sure its plugged in correctly and all.. into the right plug? Im just covering all the bases here... Try opening up the Control Panel and then Sounds & Multimedia. Check that its set to use your soundcard to record, and untick 'ue preffered devices only'. Make sure that your soundcard is the prefereed recording device! |

| 140613 | 2003-05-05 03:45:00 | I meant another soundcard if you can borrow one, not another mic..... a slip in thinking :) | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 140614 | 2003-05-05 05:35:00 | Could someone please tell me how to check that the sound card is set to "record"?and cannot find"use preferred devices only". Also cannot find anything about the soundcard being the preferred device. Remember this is XPpro, does that make a difference?. Regarding Terry's help with the soundcard suggestion, as the speakers are working fine from the same card, I presumed the Mic input would be the same. Have tried various microphones and no luck, my regular one works fine in a friends computer. Many thanks for your interest...Ron. |

| 140615 | 2003-05-05 06:21:00 | Hi Ron: Many useful suggestions here. I guess we are all clutching at straws here to eliminate causes & solve your problem. Just because the speakers are working fine, one cannot 'presume' the mic input is satisfactory. Terry's suggestion referred to the possibility of a faulty mic input socket on the soundcard, & to try another soundcard if possible. Good idea. However Pheonix ascertained that you have 'onboard' sound. Have you tried to record using the 'line input' on the soundcard? i.e. not using a mic, but inputing a signal from the line output of some other source. If that works, then the mic socket maybe be suspect, as Terry suggested. |
