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.

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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
OO so im not the only person with this? lol. thanks mate :) I got lots of revision to do but i wana get this sorted :( got my AS first modles in 7 days now hmpf.
 
Thanksm, you too. Think ill just get a usb mic that should solve the problem, though that means i need to sort out the fact that one of my front usb's doesn't work...then i need to get onto the fact that coh expansion pack wont even install... or perhaops the fact taht WIC sometimes crashs saying display driver not responding... or perhaps the fact that supreme comander some times crashs and its expansion pack alwsays crashs when i hit restart. Oblivion also randomly crashs.

OOO and that its not stable at 9x400fbs (3.2ghz) at 1.450v


I got a screwed up mobo i thinks. And ocuk screwed me over 3 times on deleivery. If i had of got it the first time this would never of happened. Instead my friends works fine even though his was ordered a week after mine but mine ended up being 2 and ahalf weeks late after 3 screw ups.

i dont ahve any silver knob but im using the sopund card anyway. its in the top port which is ment for the mic i know it is. And it didn't work in the pink or any other of the spare ports in the onboard soundl. Which was before i even had the xfi so i know its not a compatibility. i really dont think its the hardware as my friend who has the same pc has the same problem.
 
it is dissable and im not sure waht you mean about going through the recording list. As you can see from the screenshots above, i donty see how they have anything to do with the mic apart from the mic one.
