Hey,
I went shopping today, to buy a new microphone as my old one broke. When i came home to install it, i put the jack in the right socket (Pink one) and my mic wont work. My computer reconized it as a microphone, when i speak into it, i can hear my voice. But, when i try to use my mic through teamspeak or MSN messenger, it doesnt work.

My old microphone had the same problem, but did work (i cant remember, i think my son played around with it).

I also tried testing with Sound Recorder, however, when ever i press the record button i get a box which says "your audio hardware cant record files like the current file.

Please help me, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

What is the default audio file on your computer, is there a hardware setting that you can change in device manager for the microphone so it is the same as the computer default audio file

Hey...

I just saw the post and i realized that i have the sa me exact problem... I got the solution at the end: go to volume control, there should be two options: recording and playback. Chose recording, and then press OK. Then under the microphone is a check space that should be checked. Yours is probably not checked, so check it, press ok, and i am pretty sure it will work.
