microphone won't work after reinstall

[bob]

Hi,
My computer got a virus that really messed it up, so I
did a destructive recovery and formated everything on the
user portion of the HD. I have an HP by the way. Ever
since then I can't record anything using the mike. Its
plugged it and everything and I have pretty much played
around with every single option in Volume Control. Any
suggestions?
Thanks

Check to see if your sound card has all the drivers installed properly in
device manager.
