Try configuring your sound board, it is probably under AC97 or something like that..

I tried, still wont work :@

And metric, where is that?

Is the microphone USB or a 3.5MM Jack (Usually pink or black)

[Yoshimitsui]

It's a plug in jack!

Make sure the Mic Volume is not muted, turn it up full blast :P

To test if it picks up anything go to Run -> sndrec32.exe

then record your sound the green line should wave around the place if it picks up any sounds from your mic

As it's a plug-in jack and it works with other computers than means it's a problem with your computer.

It could be software related, try the above or try get the computet to recognise a microphone is plugged in.

It could also be a hardware problem, try plugging another microphone into it and see if that works.

I think this may be the same problem as mine.

Try this;

Click on the sound / volume controls icon.
Click options > Advanced controls.
Their should be a control for microphones now.
Click 'advanced' underneath and then tick the 'Mic boost' checkbox.
See if this helps, Here is a screenshot to help you.
