| 539032 | 2007-04-08 13:44:00 | I have now Vista Ultimate once again. When I had XP, my microphone was able to record sound, etc and even inaccurately translated words using XP's speech recognition technology. But in Vista, I can't even get it to work properly. Device Manager says it is working, but it certainly can't pick up any sounds, not even my voice. Speech Recognition in Vista can't hear a thing. Sound recording can't hear a thing. Like, when you record your voice using sounds recorder, there would be that gauge that is filled in green as you record, right? Well, when I tried recording my sound, there are no green bars at all, the gauge is empty. What can I do to make my mic work with Vista? My motherboard is the MSI 945P Neo-F, and it says: Audio • High Definition link controller integrated in Intel ICH7 chip • 7.1 + 2 channels audio codec Realtek ALC882. - Compliant with Azalia 1.0 Spec. Can anyone please help me get Speech Recognition in Vista to work? It would be much appreciated. |

From your description of what will/won't/used to work, the conflict seems to be between Vista & your microphone. Yet although you've given heaps of specs, the mike itself is missing. If I were an expert, I'd want to know its details - even if only to check that your model is actually Vista-ready..? |

| 539034 | 2007-04-08 17:56:00 | Make sure you have the right input device selected for the microphone. I have a high definition and Vista also said it was working but nothing came out. When I took a deeper look I found two inputs for microphone and selecting the other one made it fire up and have not looked back since. |

| 539035 | 2007-04-08 22:01:00 | yeah I reckon you have the wrong Mic input selected. I know my nforce sound has Mic1 and Mic2, only the Mic1 input actually does anything!!! | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 539036 | 2007-04-08 23:17:00 | Can you hear any sounds? To me It sounds like your sound card/ drives are not Vista compatible. |

But I'll try moving the input into every holes that I could find. EDIT: is it just me, but does "moving the input into every holes that I could find" just sounds a bit.....dodgy? :p |

| 539038 | 2007-04-08 23:44:00 | Yeah, I'd say your drivers aren't really working. It was the same for me, Vista said the device was working (sound) when it actually wasn't. I grabbed the sound drivers and that fixed it. This might help you (www.free-codecs.com) but I'm not 100% sure so you might want to check this is right for your hardware. | sal (67) | ||

| 539040 | 2007-04-09 04:15:00 | Try this (www.free-codecs.com) then | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 539041 | 2007-04-09 04:18:00 | Oh, thanks guys - but that's what I already have. Vista Realtek 1.64 drivers/codec. I just hope Realtek will soon make a proper driver, because if my mic works fine in XP and not in Vista, then it has to be the Realtek drivers right? | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
