I have checked everything it isn't on mute and everytime I log into a chat room is says its trying to find a sourse. It wont let me use the mic either. So I have no sound and no mic. I have restored my computer because I thought maybe it might be that but it wasn't. Looked into all the systems scanned it everything I could think of doing. Now I just need help!!

First, make sure that the speakers and mic are plugged in the right places. Then make sure that the power is on to the speakers (if they are powered). If that doesn't work, try another set of speakers or headphones on the computer. If that doesn't work, make sure that the driver for the card isn't corrupted. You should reinstall the driver so you know that it isn't corrupted. After that, you should check the manufactures site to see if they have posted any bulletins on this problem and fixes (if any). You can also check the newsgroups for any info. If all this doesn't help, then you should probably be calling tech support.

You downloaded the wrong one.  Uninstall that one and get the one that is totally free.  You can talk all over the world for absolutely free.  I use it with my webcam.  You can do the same thing with Yahoo Messenger.

you might try resetting it through the yahoo messenger audio wizard. Thats the easiest way to know if your sound card is working properly without doing a bunch of tech stuff.

Check under Start/Programs/Accessories then Entertainment/Volume Control and make sure your microphone and/or line in is not 'Muted'.  \n\nTest your microphone - does it work in other programs (for instance, /Accessories/Entertainment then Sound Recorder)?  If not, you may have a faulty microphone or it may be plugged in to the wrong opening on the pc.

1) Try reinstalling it.\n2) If it doesn't help, wait until another day to talk to your friend - sometimes it acts up because of internet connection that day (happened to me).\n3) If it still doesn't work, use Yahoo!Messenger with voice instead.

the driver is for your sound card or sound module. if your speakers are working and microphone is not, it could be your setting. Click on the speaker icon at the quick launch tray and check to see that your microphone is not muted and the volume is up.  If you can't see the Microphone section on the Volume Control, click on option >> properties and ensure that the microphone is selected.\nIt can also be that your plug into the wrong socket of the sound card.

In the bottom right hand corner of your desktop screen (near the time) you should see a little speaker looking image. Double left click it. That'll bring up some audio settings. Go up to Options then click on Properties. At the bottom, screen down and make sure "Microphone" is checked. Click OK. Now you should see the microphone settings on your volume settings. The Microphone slider should be in the middle (keep it there or move it up). Also, make sure mute is unchecked. That's usually the thing that's wrong with mics.\n\nTo test your mic, go to Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Entertainment -> Sound Recorder. Click on the little red button and speak into the mic.\n\nAlso, make sure your green plug is plugged into the green input on your pc, and the red is plugged into the red.\n\nThere may also be a sound card program installed on your computer that is "taking over" audio controls from the default windows one. Try to find that one (Creative?) and go to their settings.

Hi, Congrats for new sound card. \nAs u have purchased the new sound card the front sound jacks might not work. So what exactly u have to do is that u have to plug the sound speakers or headphones at the back of the computer tower in the jacks of new sound card. And just check the setting of the card. By default the microphone/headphones are set to mute.\n\nAll the best\n\nNikhil Chowdhary   \nTechnical Support Expert\nDELL INTERNATIONAL SERVICES,

After checking the plug on the back of your pc and making sure the speakers are connected properly do the following:\n\nRight click "my computer" click properties, go to the hardware tab and click "device manager"\n\nUnder the heading "sound, video, and game controllers" do you see any yellow bangs or errors?  If you don't then your sound device is fine and you should check your sound settings in the control panel.  Something may be muted or turned too low.\n\nIf there are errors then it means the sound driver is corrupted or needs to be replaced.  You need an updated driver.  Go to the website of the manufacturer of your pc or motherboard and look in support for a sound driver.  Sound drivers usually come in an installable package that makes it easy to install.\n\nIf you still have problems you could have a damaged and corrupted file, sound card, or some type of incompatibility issue.  At that point post another question with more details about your machine and we'll see if we can help you some more. :)

1. It sounds like the iTunes program is grabbing hold of the mic before your messenger program, so that when your voice/messenger program tries to use your mic it cant get any sound out of it.  One option is to close iTunes every time you want to talk to people over voice/messenger.  Closing the program may not be enough - you may have to kill the process entirely by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del and getting up Task Manager and then looking for the process name under the processes list and clicking on End Process.\n\n2. If the above doesnt work, go to Control Panel - Sound and Audio devices and check under the Audio tab that the Sound recording device is set to the one for your headphones (you can try changing it if you arent sure) and do the same for voice - voice recording.\n\nGood luck and let me know if you have trouble..\n\nContact me at www.exceptiona.com/contact.asp

A piece of programming called a "Driver" may be missing. Did you microphone come with an install disk? I suggest trying to uninstal your microphone software, reinstalling it and then restarting your computer, if you haven't done that already.
