computer microphone
 

Hey guys. I'm trying to get my microphone on my computer to work but it just won't detect anything. Sound on my computer is fully functional, and I know the microphone is too because I went on my brother's laptop and it can record my voice just fine. It has something to do with my computer. I looked in device manager to see if there is anything with a "?" but there isn't; so everything is installed properly I assume? It's as if it stopped working over night, always plugging it into the pink jack too.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver but I'm not sure if I am doing it right. Any clue on what is going on here? Or what I should do for that matter..

thanks

is it muted in windows volume control?

Try plugging into the other unused sockets. All the socket are electrically identical. The configuration might be mixed up.

i had this problem before

when i installed windows 7 the onboard sound driver was installed with
everything worked but the mic
so i went on the asus site (i have an asus mobo) and downloaded there sound driver and my mic works
