Maybe it's muted, or maybe it's not selected for recording!\n\n[Assuming you have Windows]\nOpen Volume Control by double clicking the Speaker icon in the system tray (notification area). (also, Start > [All] Programs > Accessories > Multimedia/Entertainment > Volume Control)\n\nOn the menubar, select Options > Properties.\n\nIn the Properties dialog, select "Recording" under "Adjust volume for", and click OK\n\nNow you should see "Recording Control". Place a tick mark in the check box called "Select" that directly appears below "Microphone". Adjust your mic volume. Too low, nobody can hear anything. Too high, it will squeak!\n\nIf your mic is not performing well even at highest, lower it to the lowest, then go to Options > Advanced Controls. Place a tick mark on the check box named "Mic Boost", "Mic Gain" or something similar. Click OK, and adjust the volume again. (If you don't find Mic Boost, your hardware doesn't support this feature)\n\nNote: It is recommended that you leave the microphone muted in Volume Control, while it is selected for recording in the Recording Control. This ensures that your voice will not be echoed in your speakers.\n\nTo share music that is playing on your computer, select the "Line-In", "CD" or something related directly to the source of the music, instead of the microphone as the recording device.\n_______\nViva La Dvorak! - www.dvzine.org

a) make sure your sound card is installed correctly. You best update its drivers from its offcial brand's website.\n\nb) if your sound card is being in used by any other program, then it might be the problem. I mean maybe your sound card cannot supprt multitask. So stop using anyother software where your sound card might be in used and try to enter yahoo voice chat.

For voice chatting, you can use a simple microphone. Not just a headset is the only item for voice chat. :)

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

IF your mic doesn't function at all then the bass and treble are the least of your problems.\n\nDouble click on the little speaker by the clock on the lower right of the screen... once the window pops up, go to OPTIONS --> PROPERTIES then where it says "Adjust volume for" click on Recording.  Make sure the input is checked on the bottom where your mic is connected then click OK.   Make sure that volume is up for the input you have on your mic.  \n\nIf that doesn't work, you either need drivers for your mic, or sound card drivers.

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.

like already said, plug it in the red port. Click on Start / Programs / Accessories / Entertainment / Audiorecorder. The Audio/Sound Recorder pop up. Press on the Record button (the one with the red dot) and say some words in the microphone. Press on the Stop button, then Rewind and then Play. When you can hear now your spoken words then it's ok ...... otherwise\n\nask a new question "how to configure a microphone"  ;-)))\n\nbut, it should work.

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.

I'm assuming this is first time you've tried using a mic on your computer? If so, double click the little speaker icon down by clock...This will bring up your volume control box..At top left click on options>properties..this will bring up a smaller box..in this box make sure there is a checkmark by Mic in both record and playback

Considering you haven't used the PC to PC calls, either, I suggest you go thru' Y! Msger Wizard to help you with the voice setup.\n\n1stly, make sure your headset connections are in the correct input.\n\n2ndly, click on the 'Actions' tab, look for 'Call setup'. Follow the 3 easy instructions to see if your mic & earphones are working properly.\n\nIn case it tells you that the mic and/or earphones is/are not detected, change your input connections. Simply reverse them (black into red & red into black or whatever colours your plugs are coded with) & try again to see if it works.\n\nBeyond this, I guess you'd need your friendly neighbour's help in person.\n\n:o)

Some of these may sound stupid and you may have tried them. It is, however, good to go through the basics all over again.\n-Check if the microphone jack is inserted in the correct socket. There is a colour code (usually pink for microphones) which is followed by all manufacturers.\n-Check if the sound software (accompanied with the mainboard drivers) has an option to configure the microphone. It has a feature which can detect if microphone is transmitting any signals to the computer.\n-If you can't find it, double click the sound icon in your taskbar and go to recording section in advanced controls. Check if the microphone is selected (default) as the recording device and the either the microphone or the master is in mute position.\n-Check the microphone on a system on which any other microphone is functional.
