Thanks for the advice Joel. I do have a pair of
headphones which worked well on my old computer... but on
this one no dice...

I tried your other suggestion and indeed on playback, the
mic was ticked, I have unticked this now and made sure it
is ticked under recording. Unfortunately, this still
does not work.

I am feeling very frustrated by this, i am sure it is not
an msn problem but a problem with the card itself,
perhaps the wrong drivers. The shop where I picked up
the unit says I have a ledtek mother board, but when i
try to install the sound drivers, it finds nforce drivers
over the net. I have gone to the nvidia site and
downloaded their latest drivers and unfortunately this
does not help.

Unless anyone else has any ideas it looks like a trip
back to the shop for me.
