A miniature microphone (electret) and signal amplifier to trigger the device.\n\nWith the proper associated components (coil, capacitors, resisters) the operation can be activated only by a limited frequency range or volume or both.

Another way that may work is go into your control panel, then into sound options, From there mute your microphone. It will still work but you will not hear what's going in and probably not the buzz.

Assuming that you have one already - connect it to the computer, install the appropriate drivers, test it (it should have a program bundled with it). If it has a mic - just test the volume with Windows Audio devices, in control Panel, if not - buy one, and do the same procedures as you did with your web cam.

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.

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

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.
