No, you need a sound card if you don't already have one built in.  Go to PROGRAMS->ACCESSORIES-> ENTERTAINMENT-> SOUND RECORDER and play with that.  Make sure you DOUBLE click the little speaker icon next to the clock in the lower right hand corner of the screen and set the recording properties to use a microphone instead of a mixer.

if it is just for practice then put the mic into the clean input or buy a 'splitter' for a few pounds that that allow you to plug both into one input.\nDo not buy a headset mic, by an SN57 or 58 and a cheap stand, as these will be perfect for practice and recording and live work.  you will only have to replace the headset mic as soon as you want to do anything more than sing along in your room

first connect your mic to sound card (red small connector)\nthen go to :\nstart-all programs-accessories-entertainment-sound recorder\npress record button and talk-then stop-and then play\nsee if your voice has been recorded.(you should have speaker or headphone connected to hear your voice)

Of course! Your mini disc probably has an USB port and, in case it does, you just have to use an USB cable to connect it to the PC, via one of the USB PC doors. This cable probably came with the mini disc when you acquired it. If you use Windows 2000 or XP, the mini disc will be immediately "recognized" and it will show up just like a "removable drive" inside "My Computer". Click twice on "My Computer" to see it. However, if you are using an older Windows version, you will probably have to install the drivers that came with the mini disc. You will probably find the drivers in a floppy disc or CD that came with the mini disc. Another solution to install the drivers, is to search those at (and download from...) the mini disc makers web site. Then, it will be just like using a floppy disc and you can drag and drop, copy, move, etc.

HI,\nTry to remove your Sound card driver and get a newer version from the site, because it may be a conflict with the windows especially if you download micrsoft batches from internet.

A regular music one is just fine, u need burning software, such as Nero or Sonic. :)

Unfortunately not.  You install buldog, you will get the driver.

Years ago, when my brothers-in-law screwed up my sound on my W98 machine, I just un-installed and re-installed my sound card drivers.\n\nI do not remember conclusively whether or not you need to have the driver disk for the card.  If you don't have it, try to find the driver on the internet for your specific card first and save it to your computer.\n\nRight click on my computer, go to properties and choose the Device Manager tab.  Find your sound card, right click on it and choose remove.  Restart your computer.  Windows will find your sound card and attempt to reinstall it.  This is where it may help to have the disk for it.\n\nHope that helps!

You could try what the previous user mentioned, but a better way is this go here:\n\nStart -> Programs -> Accessories -> Entertainment -> Sound Recorder. Just press the RED button, start talking into the mic, hit stop. Then play what you just recorded. Works like a charm.

Hi,\n\nI was told that this is a pretty good voice recording software, it's free :)\n\nAny microphone will do fine, just make sure you buy the right one. Or even better you can buy a headset, a headset is a headphone and mic in one :)Brands that I recommend are:\nPlantronics,Logitech,Creative.

anything that fits on the disc will be able to go on it. i do not recommend using one for music. They are horrible. You should look into a USB Flash Drive. They hold more files and are better for traveling.

I assume you are talking about voice / recording and you already have a microphone or line input to your PC. I also assume you have Windows XP.\n\nYou can use the simple (very simple) Sound Recorder that comes with Windows XP: under Programs, Accessories, Entertainment.\n\nAlternatively, you can download freeware, such as Audacity (source below)

I might not have the same thing... but mine doesn't.\n\nA mic for a computer costs about $10 or less.  I'd recommend the headphone/mic set which will give you some privacy.

You will probably need the driver CD that came with either the sound card - motherboard if integral, or CD pack if a store bought made up system.\n\nDelete it from CONTROL PANEL- SYSTEM - Hardware, then reboot and have the CD ready when it says 'Found New Hardware'\n\nIf you haven't got it, message me with make and model of sound card
