Dell Dimension 4600, motherboard audio, WinXP Pro SP2. When no
application is running, speaking into the mike results in the speech
coming out of the speakers. What is causing this software short?

Have Speech SDK 5.1 installed, and do significant development with it.
All applications work fine, including simple Sound Recorder, and Speech
Recognition training. Thanks.
 
Mute the mic for playback. If the mic is on you'll hear it. In the volume applet. In playback it mixes sounds for playback, the mic is just a source like a CD. In record mode you need the mic unmuted. The volume applet has two modes Record and Playback which you set in Properties. See Help.
 
That was it. I must have un-muted the mike eons ago when I had some
other problem I couldn't figure out. Thanks.
