Re: mic not working

Sounds more like he has his speakers muted.
Got a mute button on your keyboad?
Bit hard because we don't know what you have in front of you. You plugged
into the (usually) green port?
Playback on the mic? A mic is ONLY for input.
Reread your post & tell us your problem again.
Plug speakers in & see if they "talk"?

Not too sure what you are trying to do here but if you want to hear the
output from the microphone through the computer speakers like a PA
amplifier this won't work on all computers. Apparently some drivers don't
allow that to occur and some do. One of my laptops, if I turned on the
microphone to record from it without turning down the volume on my
speakers, I would get terrible feedback. The second computer model from
the same manufacturer, I couldn't get the sound out at all but could
record voice and playback later.

Same has happened with a couple of my older desktops with 98, 2000, ME
and pre SP XP but I haven't tried it lately with my newer computers.

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
