mic not working

Hi wondering if anyone culd help with an audio issue. I have recently
bought a brand new computer and the playback on the mic does not work.
I can record sound no problem, but I can't hear the sound when I play
it.

When I open volume control, there is no option for mic. Now this is
the tricky part - when I go to options > properties, there is no
option for playback on the mic. I have two devices available, HD input
1 and HD output 2 (and a third option for digital but that doesn't
matter). When I open the settings for HD input, 'playback' is greyed
out. I've reinstalled all my drivers and nothing happens, so I guess
this is XP being silly and that this is a registry issue.

My sound card is a VIA VT1618 @ VIA VT8237A High Definition Audio
Controller on a VM900M motherboard. If anyone can lend a hand that
would be great.

Cheers

.
