Re: Microphone won't work

"If it doesn't, you may have a malfunctioning microphone or
Game Voice control pad on your hands."

Have you tested the microphone on another system?

Have you tried another mic on the system?

Have you checked inside the box to be sure all the wires are
properly connected?

| Help!
|
|
|
| Google search indicates many many others with same problem
but i cannot
| locate a solution.
|
| Microsoft knowledge base resolution did NOT resolve??!!
| Tried this too but no joy!
|
| Tried all the advice below but I still haven't fixed the
problem.
|
| "The solution involves reconfiguring some advanced sound
settings and
| tweaking the Registry. Start by opening the Control Panel
and selecting the
| Sounds And Audio Devices icon (in the Sounds, Speech, And
Audio Devices
| category). Choose the Voice tab, locate the Voice Playback
heading, and
| click the Advanced button. From the Advanced Audio
Properties dialog box,
| choose its Performance tab and move the Hardware
Acceleration slider to the
| right. It doesn't matter how far to the right, as long as
the Hardware
| Acceleration slider is set to something other than None.
Click OK to close
| the dialog boxes.
|
| Before continuing to the next phase of the solution, you
must make sure
| Dpvsetup.exe isn't open and running on your PC. Press the
CTRL-ALT-DELETE
| key combination to access the Task Manager and locate any
references to
| Dpvsetup.exe or DirectPlay Voice. End all of them and
close the Task
| Manager.
|
| Now it's time to edit the Registry. Open the Start menu,
select Run, type
| regedit in the Open field, and click OK. In the Registry
Editor, locate and
| highlight
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\DIRECTPLAY\VOICE\AUDIOCONFIG.
| The AudioConfig key should include a pair of nested
folders labeled with
| hexadecimal numbers. Open both of them to reveal several
Registry values,
| including three labeled as FullDuplex, HalfDuplex, and
MicDetected.
|
| Right-click the FullDuplex value and select Modify from
the pop-up menu. In
| the resulting Edit DWORD Value dialog box, type 3 in the
Value Data field
| and click OK. Repeat the procedure for the HalfDuplex and
MicDetected
| values, setting the Edit Value fields to 3 for HalfDuplex
and 2 for
| MicDetected. Close the Registry Editor and reboot the
computer. The
| microphone should now work correctly. If it doesn't, you
may have a
| malfunctioning microphone or Game Voice control pad on
your hands.
