Microhone Not Working

[Guest]

I am running WinXP SP1 and can not get the microphone to work. This is a
known good mic and all the audio properties are not muted. I can't figure out
what the issue might be. This is a brand new install of XP Pro and still mic
does not work. When I go into the sound recorder and try to record, it
doesn't record anything because it is not getting any sound input (the graph
stays flat) Any advice that can be offered would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Did you actually select mic in the recording properties of the volume
control. By default i think line in is selected.
In volume control: options, properties, recording, make sure mic is checked,
hit ok.
Make sure mic has a check in the select box.
