Only thing I can think of at the moment - I assume the head set/Mic has two 3.5mm Plugs, One should go into the Mic ( pink) the Head Phones into the green. Does the rear audio sockets look similar like these (www.imagef1.net.nz), or are they further down the case. ( excuse the poor quality, its dark under the desk :lol: ) Are you able to take a Picture of how they are connected ? -- Might be easier to find out what the hells going wrong.	wainuitech (129)
777612	2009-05-30 05:32:00	they are connected right trust me, dont have a camera to take a pic or i would but they are connected correcly in the back, its more in the middle of the panel	Scott11x (14949)
777613	2009-05-30 06:12:00	didnt mean to say middle, its more near the top of the back panel	Scott11x (14949)
777614	2009-05-30 06:28:00	Hmmmm OK next step I would try is a stand alone mic instead of the integrated one - this is only to test the Mic and make sure it is working as it should . The setting provided look right - But what is a bit of a worry, the first Picture you posted : The head Phones say Rear mic- (that may be natural for those) AND the Line in is visible as well . Its almost as if the Headphones think they are the Mic . I just plugged in a set of headphones with built in Mic, the mic lit up, but NOT the Line in . Edited: Mind you being a Dell - god knows what they have done - seen it happen a few times where things dont always work as they should - they usually do work, just the settings may need to be different . Try a stand alone Mic and see what happens .	wainuitech (129)
777615	2009-05-30 06:58:00	um i dont have a stand alone mic is there any other way to est it or what not? or do you know what might be the prob? and my old xp was a dell also so im not sure if dell is there prob but it might be im just really confused of why its not working...	Scott11x (14949)
777616	2009-05-30 07:22:00	I'm out of ideas currently - I do this for a living, and as I mentioned the next thing I would do is try another mic, that way it will confirm or eliminate it -- it could an odd setting someplace. As I mentioned before "The head Phones say Rear mic" --- got a gut feeling it shouldn't. About the only other thing I can think of right now - disconnect the Mic plug only (pink one) - see what the current icon saying "rear mic" now says - then see if you can hear anything from the headphones. I can now see why other help forums have not been able to advise you - things are not working as "Standard".	wainuitech (129)
777617	2009-05-30 21:00:00	ok so an update and some bad news.. my friend who is pretty good a pc's and all thought he knew the solution and gave me this link for the best driver for my system support.dell.com so i installed that and then all of a sudden i have no sound... i tried a driver roll back to my previous driver to where it actually worked but it didnt i still have no sound so i tried a system resotre to a time where it worked and no it still doesnt... i get this error when i try to start Windows Audio in the services img198.imageshack.us any idea? please help thanks	Scott11x (14949)
777618	2009-05-30 23:02:00	my friend who is pretty good a pc's and all thought he knew the solution In other words a wanna be . Thats why you should only use the drivers provided for the model of your PC, which you already had . Have you tried going in to programs and features, uninstall the drivers ( sometimes they show , sometimes they wont) You could go into the device manager and uninstall, but when the PC reboots it will load in the drivers again, dont know if it would load in the correct ones . Since this has now turned into a utter mess :groan: - If it were me I would save any data - and wipe the drive / reinstall Vista - the original install may have not gone in correctly, this may be one cause of the problem . (seen it happen many times) In fact I have a customers HP Vista PC in the workshop now - Graphic driver problem / wont load .	wainuitech (129)
