Doh. Wish I read this before I bought a headset. But if the mic does not work, the headset apparently doesnt help. If your under warranty, contact Nintendo. If not, I think we're out of luck unless you want to shell out $75

do you have a menu in the game where the mic sensitivitey can be changed? maybe that's the problem. or you spit in it and it's broken now.

What a stupid solution given by Magic_Keys.
Can't you read the comments, the bits where they tell you what games they are using.

My daughter bought a ds lite on ebay so had no warranty. Her mic wasn't working for Nintendo dogs. But bought the proper ds headset with microphone for about $20 from **** smith and now she can use her games well.

You could just by a headset and hook it up to your ds since it has an external hookup.

Get a headset for $15 or less. Much cheaper than fixing the device. It will correct the problem if the mic not working is all that is wrong. Your other option is to have it repaired. Someone said they took theirs to Best Buy. My Best Buy didn't have a clue what I was talking about. (No surprises there.) I had previously tried cleaning with denatured alcohol and canned air with out any help. If you choose to send it in to get it fixed call support. They will quote $75 to start plus $10 S&H ask them if that's their best price, they should reduce it to $50. That's the offer they made me if I was willing to take it on the spot.

ok i fond a solution if you have a ds lite i woundn`t bother trying to open it but i did the mic did not work at all until i opened it its a wire.
that you have to re-connect with a storing gun. or if you droped your ds that's the problem. or shell out $140.00 to buy a new one. or contact nintendo if you still have warranty

Comment by Guest, posted on Jul 04, 2008

I got a game: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. In one of the games, you have to use your microphone in order to play. Where's the microphone? Is it built-in? Because if it is, I've tried it and it doesn't work. I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong or not. I bought it off eBay and the description didn't mention a broken microphone. Can anyone PLEASE help me?

after using a headset whit microfone, the mic from the ds didn't work anymore

Comment by Manilagurl, posted on Apr 28, 2008

I first noticed my mike on the DS Lite doesn't work when I tried to record something on the white record while playing nintendogs. Then I tried to teach one of my dogs a command but the mike didn't pick up my voice at all. I tried once again talking into the mike from different distances, it still didn't work. Then I switched my game to Mario Party DS to do the mike test. The mike still didn't pick up my voice.

I recently bought a microphone and headset for my ds. When the headset is not plugged in, the microphone does not work but when the headset is plugged in, the microphone on the headset works. My microphone on the ds was working fine until i bought the headset and plugged it in. Has the headset blocked the microphone on the ds from working even when it is not plugged in? Can someone help me please

I discovered the same problem - got Zelda for Christmas, tried to call out to the Fortune Teller and made a fool of myself yelling at this game just to discover the microphone is broken. I tried Brain Age and the mic no longer works there either. Any help would be greatly appreciated since my warranty expired like 2 weeks ago!

i have just got Zelda - and my mic hasnt worked for ages now, i thought it was just an ocassional hiccup, but the dam thing is brocken!

Comment by CuriousZen, posted on Nov 05, 2007

Just brought the legand of Zelda for the Ds, got to the section where you have to call out to the fortune teller to discover my microphone has stopped working maiking it impossible for me to get any further in the game. What's more, my warranty has run out which means I'm going to have to pay to get it fixed! Any suggestions?

P.S The mike doesn't seem to work with games, such as electroplankton and braintraining

Comment by michelle23, posted on Nov 03, 2007

whenever i have to say something into the mic it doesnt do anything the game i have even has mic testing and i doest do anything y is dat?

Comment by Ketzr, posted on Nov 02, 2007

I am playing games that need something said or blown into the mic to advance and the mic doesn't respond reguardless of what I do. Hoping it was just the mic not hearing me I bought a headset designed for the ds with the earpeice and mic and still it didn't work. Being the mic on the ds doesn't work nor does the mic in the headset, which was newly bought and not used before hand and broken, I'm guess it is the internal mic that is broken. There any way to fix that?
