Microphone Sound

[Guest]

I have Vista Ultimate. I cannot get the MIC to work. I go thru the Creative
SB X-Fi program on the Taskbar, go thru the procedure. but nothing works.
Anyone got any ideas?
ThanksWS

I have the same issue.

The setup is Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit loaded on an Asus P5N32-E SLI
PLUS mainboard with a Creative Sound Blaster Xtreme Gamer sound card
recieving from a Logitech headset.
I have checked and double checked the following: mute button, correct ports,
line volume, internal volume, record device priority, headset input jack
integrity, and other headsets. Everything in the "duh" catagory checks out.
This card and headset have worked in numerous set-ups I have used in the
past, including Windows XP and XP-64. I have tried numerous driver
re-download/reinstalls and two OS reinstalls. Nothing seems to work.

I've noticed quite a few others who have this exact issue but differing
hardware less the sound card and OS. Therein lies the souce of my problem.
Any help, if possible, would be much appreciated.

You need to change the sound quality option in control panel from the
default (dvd quality) to a lower one say telephone quality and HEY PRESTO mic
fixed

Hi, fgouvrit.

You posted your question on the Vistaheads "forum". All Vistaheads did was
forward your bare-naked post - with no context - to the Usenet newsgroup on
the Microsoft public news server - where it is being read by me and millions
of readers around the world. But since Vistaheads did not bother to send
any context, we have no idea what "same issue" you're asking about.

Why not "cut out the middleman" and post your question - with some details -
directly to:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.vista.hardware_devices

Someone here can probably help you, but we get frustrated with messages
being inconsistently and undependably relayed back and forth between
"forums" such as Vistaheads and this newsgroup here on the Microsoft server,
which is free and does not require you to log on.
