Microphone connected directly to speakers

Hi,

Suddenly, my microphone has got connected to my speakers.
As soon as I boot, the microphone becomes active and and
conveys all sounds direct to the speakers. I have tried to
solve the problem by a fresh set-up from my Windows 98
installation disc but this has not worked. Sound devices
viz recorder, audio playback from CDs etc are OK. Is this
a hardware problem? Please help. Thanks.

Your mic sounds as if it is open in the mixer properties. Double click the
speaker icon in the system's tray (next to the clock in lower right hand of
screen). In the playback or master out, mute the mic.
