Control Panel > Sound > Recording...

There should be a green tick next to the microphone icon and it should say "working" under the device details. If not you may need to set it as default.

No I don't have Vista. Should have said that.

I was just trying to point you in the right direction.

Mine works, but just sound like its been dropped into water. Disabling it and enabling it then maybe a few restarts and the thing sounds fine, its so temperamental it does my head in.

I had that exact problem with an X-FI Xtreme and the only way was to use the onboard sound mic port, the X-FI will still function work using the onboard sound mic, I couldn’t find a solution

My Xfi-fat mic is broken in Vista.
