Sound recorder - microphone

S

SIDNEY

I have just reinstalled XP Home. After the initial
install the microphone was working fine. Since I applied
SP1 it has stopped. I have now, eventually applied as
many updates, pathes etc as possible and it still doesn't
work.
Microphone is checked in the recording controls window.
The recording level slider is greyed out though. I am
just using sound recorder, nothing complicated.
Apart from windows XP I have only installed my USB modem.

Anyone got any ideas why it has stopped

Thanks
SID

Sydney it sounds like the USB modem has taken over your
default recording settings.

On the system tray icon right click on the speaker icon.
Select adjust audio properties. On the resulting page
select the either the audio or voice tab and look at the
recording option and observe what the default recording
option is in the window. If it is not the soundcard, click
on the down arrow and see if the sound card is listed. If
it is, click on it to make it the default. The name should
be the same as the playback device. Click the apply button
and ok and try the mic recorder.

Have you gone to Control Panel/Sound and Audio
properties/Voice and run "Test Hardware"? After you run
test if you receive a Dpvsetup.exe error, You will need to
unload all McAfee Virus Scan/firewall programs. Run
Hardware test again and your Mic should be operating
properly. I do not know about reloading McAfee afterwards.
I understand that there is some sort of conflict with
McAfee 7.-- and directsound. I downloaded a free virus
scan. Hope this helps.

Try downloading and installing the latest version of DirectX 9.0b. That did it for me
