Cannot Record from my Microphone

Attempting to record a narration to a slideshow, I discovered my microphone
would not work.
I located the Sound Hardware Test Wizard which checked the software and
displayed the Test Dialogue box.
However, I could not record anything and was told that I could not complete
the Sound Hardware Test.
I have borrowed another mike which is known to be working, but with exactly
the same results after repeated attempts.
I have checked I am using the correct (ASUS mobo pink) socket but have now
run out of ideas.
Can anyone suggest what the problem might be - and how to cure it ?

Jim.
