[SIZE=10pt]Alot of people are reporting the microphone in the PC pck that they purchased , dosen't work. As a Tamologist/Tamvestigator , I did some research. With in the same hour , i found out that in the computer there is more than one hole. I think that maybe some people were sticking the wire in the wrong outlet. [/SIZE]

Try to experiment with all the outlets. if that dosen't work. It is possible the Mic. Has been damaged by liquid spillage , it being dropped once to many times , etc.

You may also have to unmute / enable / or adjust the volume for the microphone in your sound mixer. For WindowsXP: right-click on the volume control icon (little speaker) near the lower right corner of the screen - near the clock. (If you don't see this icon, you may need to first click the << symbol to the left of the icons in the bottom right corner.) From the menu that pops-up, select "Open Volume Control". From the Volume Control menu bar, select Options -> Properties, then click the radiobutton for "Recording" in the Adjust Volume For area. If Microphone does not have a check mark next to it, place one there. Click OK in the Properties window to close it. Now your Volume Control window should change into a Recording Control window. Adjust the Microphone slider to the highest level it will go and make sure it is the only one that is selected (has a green checkmark below it.) Close the Recording Control window by clicking the big X in its upper right corner. To test that the microphone is working, click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Entertainment -> Sound Recorder. Click the Sound Recorder's record button (it's the one with the big red circle on it.) Tap the microphone with your finger or speak into it. You should see the thin straight green line in the black box change. This indicates that your microphone is working.
