Mic wont work?

hey been trying to work out why my mic doesn't work. Its just one of many problems however but that will be a new topic when i am able to rma some parts back as currently need my pc.

Anyway, my mic is "currently unavalible" it didn't work with onboard sound either or with my xfi fatality so whats going on? my friend has the same problem and he has same mobo and same sound card and unlike me his pc is totaly fine. (Which really annoys me because my stuff was ment to be delivered before his so i would have got his working parts but i got screwed over as usual).

Anyway, im presuming this is something to do with vista (64bit if it makes a difference), perhaps an option i am missing? And yes the mike is pluged into the right socket on both of ours and we cant get them to work.

Thanks .

:EDIT:

Intresting it now says its working but still when i try configure it it doesn't pick up any sound. Im not sure what i did to change it to working however.

:EDIT:

Its because i changed it to default.. However that turns everything else to not working so i gues i cant have it as default... what ever that means.

firstly "MIC" not Mike

sound like you have a small plastic man standing on your desk :)

secondly control panel > hardware and sound> sound > recording> what devices are listed?
 
lol maybe i named it mike :)

I dont have hardware and sound but i have "sound"

Ive disabled all things to do with the onboard sound. Including "stero mixer" which is at the bottem of the second picture.

nope. Same problem with my friend who has a similar mic and same sound card and mobo. So id ont think its hardware as such as we just missing something.
 
quick question? why are all the other devices "not working"? have you installed the latest drivers? and as it is vista 64bit did you run it as administrator when you did?

what does it show on device manager?

** edit**

why is the card set to auxilary?

go into bios and change that :P
 
they say dont work when i set the mic as defaukt.. but the soudn and all works so i dunno whats up with that. Yes i did just install the latest drivers. And i am the admin.

It seems i can only have 1 thing working at a time and tahts what ever i set as defult. Also there is the levels on the speakers which have things muted on them. But some i cant unmute and if i dont have others muted it wont even let me test my mic. I hate vista lol.

And device manager has no questionmarks all drivers are working and installed.
 
right...... it is there somewhere :P it has to be!! :D

very strange if it didn't work beforehand :S

you are using the same realtec drivers as i am on vista 64 ...... i will have a play and see what happens when i disable things :P
 
mmm i dont think this is a hardware problem though if it doesn't work on two different machines and before i even had a sound card in. I will remember the realtec drivers anyway.
