| 470962 | 2006-07-15 05:39:00 | I think you may find that the front mic socket doesn't work properly - I had that issue with my previous computer, which I think had something to do with the way which the computer powered the electret mic. | somebody (208) | ||
| 470963 | 2006-07-15 07:18:00 | Windows XP has it's own sound tester wizard. Go to Control Panel, click Sounds, Speech and Audio Devices (if in Catagory view) and open Sounds and Audio Devices. Then click the Voice tab (!? not designed very well IMO) and click Test Hardware. | pcuser42 (130) | ||

Vista is dead easy - click start- in the search type in sound when sound recorder shows click it to open - and bingo one sound recorder. If the Mic's not working, in the search, this time type in speech Select Windows Speech Recognition Options - Top left Advanced Speech options - if you say something you should see a bar moving along the bottom - if not, then click on audio Input Double click Speakers - Levels Tab, and make sure the Mic is not muted - as long as its not it should work. If its still not working, Click on Recording Tab - Double click the Microphone / Custom Tab , tick Mic Boost, while there click on the Levels tab - and move the slider to suit. Now you'll prob get feed back as its to sensitive :) |
