Phone Monitor

[Guest]

Can't figure out how to use my computer mic to pickup a phone message , when
I am on hold. I want the mic to play live through my computer speakers.
Similiar to a karoke machine, only witth my computer. I have windows xp. My
system will run the windows recorder.

start/run, type SNDVOL32

Options menu, Properties, put a dot in 'playback'

scroll down to "Microphone" and put a check, then OK

note the slider for Mic volume, and be sure a check is Not in Mute, below the slider.
then OK, and go back to options, properties

put a dot in "Recording"

Put a check in Microphone, and OK

Note the slider for the Mic, and be sure a check IS in the box for "Select" , then OK

Speak into the Mic. If your speakers are working, you will hear it.
