Pc microphone my pc microphone does not seem to work but tells me it is

The 2 wires should be + and - I think, is there any way of telling bewtween the 2?

Check device manager if your microphone device has an exclamation mark or question mark. Also check control panel if your microphone shows fine there. Tell me if you see some errors there.

it needs to be selected as the recording device instead of your inbuilt one but as you dont state important info i need to tell you how. I will leave it for you to figure out, as i see it if you cant be bothered, why should i?

Hi, you mostly likely lose your driver for your microphone. Unfortunately, Sony doesn't seem to support windows 7 for your computer, only Vista, or at least the drivers for 7 is not on their site. What you could do is Google search you sound card, microphone, and mother board type and see if your can find a third party copies of working drivers for your computer. My Mind is telling me there are more things may not be working on your computer as before. Are they?

Or you may reply to this with the type of sound card and mother board and microphone hardware your computer has and I will try to find it for you.

Or better yet contact Sony, -- I am sure your paid lot of $$$$ for the computer.

A friend in south korea has tried to talk to me on skype, I can hear him, but the microphone in my computer dosen't seem to be working can you help me with this? I also have to tell you that I am not very conversant with computers so the answer will have to be very simple

check your cpu port for microphone to motherbord.
or may be microphone may be faulty.

dear passed,
If your mobile s new and it has warranty then no problem.. go to the nearest service center and tell your problem. they 'l change microphone with no cost.. This s one of the common problem n nokia.

Your Microphone is not working, if you are using Windows XP/Windows 2000 then double click theh Speaker Icon in Task Bar. There you select the properties and then the recording option. You will get the Microphone setting. Unmute there.
If your problem is still there you can tell me the problem you are facing then you can tell me the errors you are getting.

What you have to do is go to your speaker volume icon in the taskbar, right click and go to open volume control and click mute microphone. If mic does not show click Advanced. This dissables the onboard mic but allows the use of your external microphone, rectifying the tinny sound.
