I am using a headset and a seperate Microphone. My mic isn't working but
when i run the test on it and play a song through media player it lights up
the test bar from the music not from the microphone. They are both plugged
into the right jacks and my headphones are working perfectly. So what is the
deal why is my mic messed up?

Click to expand...

Double-click the Volume icon in the System Tray (bottom right).
Then choose Options | Properties, and
check (radio button) Adjust_volume_for Recording,
make sure that Microphone is ticked in the list, then
press OK, and
make sure that the Microphone slider is Selected (check box) and set above
zero level.

Note that the check boxes read "Select" when playing back, and "Mute" when
recording.
 
" My boxes read "Select" when recording, and "Mute" when
playing back". This hasn't sovled my problem :(
 
Have you tried to set the mic boost in the advanced box on microphone level
in the volume control window?
