You need a voice modem to make calls with your computer that will work both ways. Also, you need special phone calling software. Try http://www.voicecallcentral.com/

You're going to slap me for suggesting it, but check the following first:\n\n1. Go to the control panel, check sound.  Is it muted?  Is anything muted?\n2. Double check that the speaker is in the correct port, and not going through another device (speaker/headset splitter, etc) first.\n3. Make sure the card is seated properly.\n\nOnce you've done these, go to the control panel, then system, then hardware, then device manager and make sure the computer knows the card is present and installed.  Make sure it thinks it's running.\n\nGood luck.

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.

Check if your speaker is connected correctly on your computer. Check if it is not muted. If it still does not work, reinstall your sound card. If it doesnt, maybe there is a problem either on your sound card or on your speaker. To isolate it, try connecting your speaker with other PC, if there are sounds produce then we can conclude that most likely your sound card is defective.\n\nRegards

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

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.

you need to connect a MIC to the sound card Microphone input on the back of your CPU. Usually the MIC jack is pink in colour. The input on the sound card should also be pink.\n\nOnce connected make sure you do a MIC test. GO to your sound properties and adjust the microphone volume. Sometimes it may be in 'mute' mode. If so, just uncheck the mute check box.\n\nWhen you do a voice test, make sure your speakers are turned on and the volume up to hear when you speak through the MIC.\n\nYou can buy PC headphones and built-in MIC for a very low cost. However you have to disconnect your speakers and plug in the headphone jack (green) to the sound card.\n\nUsing a headphone and built-in MIC is more private...although people around you can hear you talk!\n\nAll the best! Hope I helped.

You should have 2 jacks on your headset, one for your mic and one for the headphones.\n\nTake out your main speaker connector and put the headphone connector in that socket

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.

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,

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.

Note: Instructions presume Windows XP. For other OS, the instructions will be similar but you will have to find the right buttons yourself.\n\nHere are the first few things to try:\n\nOpen the sounds options as: Start->Settings->Control Panel->Sound & Audio Devices.\n\nUnder the volume tab, click 'Advanced' in the 'Device volume' section. Make sure that the 'mute' checkbox under Microphone is unchecked.\n\nThe other things to do is to make sure that the mic is properly plugged in. Also go to Start->Accessories->Entertainment->Sound recorder and try to record something from the mic into the recorder to see if the mic works (so you can be sure its indeed a mic issue and not a Yahoo! Messenger configuration problem). If you cannot find the sound recorder program, you can run it manually by clicking Start->Run and then copy pasting the text below in the box that comes up (Note that you will have to remove the space I put in after the last '&#92;'...this is a Yahoo! Answers limitation):\n"%SystemRoot%&#92;System32&#92; sndrec32.exe"
