-This may be the problem.
Click audio controls on the taskbar, go to advanced under Master Volume. Make sure that center speaker and subwoofer isn't connected to microphone. Just uncheck both, unless that option is required.. worked for me.

My mic just stopped working when i was in middle of a voice call on yahoo messanger.(won't work even with sound recorder)
I tried something which worked for me
1-went to volume control
2-under mic tab there is a "advanced" button
3-After clicking it you see two options "mic2 select" and "mic boost"
4-i unchecked "mic 2 select" and mic started working.

I have the exact same problem, it is finally working now!
1. Go to Control Panel -> Sound Effect Manager (I think this comes with my sound card, not sure if you have this option)
2. Select Speaker Configuration, and select "2 channel mode for stereo speaker output".
3. Select Sound and Audio Devices -> Voice tab
4. Click on Volume under Voice recording session
5. Check Select checkbox on Line In, the Microphone checkbox will uncheck itself
6. Click on Test hardware. There you go, it works.
The weird thing is that now if you check the volume again, the Select checkbox is checked on the microphone, not line in. But it works! Btw, I am using WinXP.

So close.... I can't actually check the box described in step 5, the computer will not allow me to. I have had mic and recording capability before.

This seems to have solved the problem. Thanks.

hey guys, I got an mic problem too, but it's a bit different as the one u guys got. When I connect my mic to my computer and boot the computer, it works fine... but after a while using it, it suddenly crashes and sends out ear hurting noices. Sometimes I can fix it in somekind of software program called Audiomax, but then the problem will repeat several minutes later on. Sometimes it isn't fixeable and I'll just have to reboot my PC to get it recording again. Anyone has an solution? Otherwise I'll just have to buy an new soundcard I guess...

I have tried every solution here, yet my microphone still refuses to work. I have Realtek AC'97 v4.00 audio drivers. Using on-board sound and microphone.

I am having the same problem with my mic. When I use it in windowlive messenger it will quit in mid conversation. I have to disconnect and the reconnect to make it work. I have tested it in the audio wizard in sound max. I have tested in the audio wizard in the messenger and everything is working. I have checked to see if there is a conflict with the web cam and it is showing no conflicts. All my drivers are up to date. I have been using a headset with mic and a stand alone mic and it is the same thing. I don't know what is going on.
