Try playing with it at "START button, Run, DxDiag". (Close all other
open windows first.) That is the DirectX Diagnostic Tool, & it may have a message for you. -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, should things get worse after this, PCR "John Hawkins" wrote in message ... | I never tried using the microphone on my system before, but I recently got a | USB hub and now have the option to use a PC camera.

To modify Hugh's instructions slightly:
Right-click the volume control icon click Open Volume Controls Click Options Properties Adjust Volume For: Recording Add a check in the box for Microphone and click OK Adjust the Microphone volume slider to about 3/4, and put a check in the Select box. Click Options Properties Adjust Volume For: Playback Add a check in the box for Microphone and click OK Adjust the Microphone volume slider to about half, and put a check in the Mute box....you want the mic muted in the Playback controls, or you will get feedback through your speakers. What jack do you have the microphone plugged into? -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "John Hawkins" wrote in message ...

I checked that the mic is plugged in correctly, all OK. I also checked set
controls for recording and had to check mic, but still not working. "glee" wrote in message ...

I ran "DxDiag" and ,under input, it found a problem in my registry and
advises I reinstall DirectX. Would that be part of my windows 98SE CD? "PCR" wrote in message ... Try playing with it at "START button, Run, DxDiag". (Close all other open windows first.)
