Normally its behind the back of your tower. Check the back to see if theres a jack port for your microphone. Some are in front of the towers or they can even be plugged into the speakers. \n\nI would start with behind the tower.\n\nOhhh you said microphone for karaoke.\n\nOkay you need a microphone input converter. This is what it looks like on ebay:\nhttp://cgi.ebay.com/New-USB-Audio-Microphone-Adapter-Virtual-5-1-Sound-card_W0QQitemZ6893194722QQcategoryZ3701QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem\n\nGet this and you can just plug it in one side and the other side will be a USB. You just have to stick the USB in the back of the computer. You should have a couple of USB ports in the back of your computer, it looks like a small rectangular port.

Maybe you should try buying an external microphone that is made for computers.  You could get one that attached to your clothing or that attaches to the top of the laptop screen.  Are you sure that the laptop has a mic built into it?  I'm not possitive, but I don't think this is a common practice.

There is usually some standardization in the industry for monitor to computer connections.  I took a Gateway monitor and had no problems in connecting it to a Dell computer.  You would most likely have no problems either!

You need a male to male cable with a 3.5mm stereo jack plug at each end. \n\nConnect one end to your headphone socket on the hifi, and the other to the line in on your laptop sound card. \n\nHey presto! You simply capture the incoming audio with the software of your choice, and in the format of your choice.

there should be a line out jack on the back of your computer. it's blue in color I think...plug your speakers into that.

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.

On the back of your computer find what looks like three headphone plug ins.  One will have a picture of a microphone plug it in there.

You need to plug your mic into your computer - if you have a decent mic you might need to convert the plug down to a 3.5mm jack.  You will need some decent ish audio recording software - sound recorder on windows will only do 60 seconds at a time.  Adboe audition is very good for this.  You then need to go to audio properties - right click on speaker icon by clock.  Go to recording properties and check that microphone is enabled.  Then away you go.

Audacity is a good choice for this sort of thing -- it's free and works on just about any operating system. You also need a microphone if you don't have one. I'm using the Samson C01U at the moment, but any mic will do. If you are going to send your samples as MP3 files, you'll also need LameLib. Audacity's website provides instructions on how to get LameLib and how to make Audacity talk to it (it's not difficult). Good luck!

go to dell.com and then go to support & help/ drivers & downloads and download the video driver for your laptop

You need to download new drivers for your video card and monitor.  I have no idea what kind of Dell you have, but you should be able to go to their web site and look it up based on either the label on the computer or the Service Tag # or whatever it's called.

yes.  they are cheap and easy to find.  Even if your computer has a built-in mic, you'll be happier having one to speak into directly, instead of bending down to yell at your keyboard!

Go to skype.com and go to downloads and there should be a program that records off your sound card.
