If you see no entry for 'microphone' and 'Recording' radio button is grayed
out, try removing and reinstalling the drivers for your on-motherboard audio
device.
Question #1: What is the 'Mixer device:' name in the property sheet?
Question #2: You did install Windows XP drivers for the on-motherboard
audio device, right? If not, do so.
Question #3: Are the speakers in the same area as the microphone? If so,
you will get audio feedback; which makes the arrangement less than useful.
If that is really your desired operating situation, the only way to decrease
feedback is to use a directional mike (pointed away from the speakers) and
to reduce the volume level of the speakers. Having an acoustically 'dead'
operating location would also help.
