Microphone is not working

make sure have installed the drivers for microphone http://www.driverscape.com/manufacturers/acer/laptops-desktops/aspire-5315/619

Check that microphone is not muted or low. Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Manage Audio Device> Sound > Microphone >Properties > Level.

For your model I've checked and there is no onboard microphone, and there is no way you can record your voice or is able to send voice chat unless you have an external microphone, or a external webcam that provide with a microphone in order for you to record or do a voice chat. Now if you cliam that you were able to do a voice chat, and someone was able to hear you or able to record voices.... Then i would only guess that in your sound device, you probraly disabled the microphone it or lowered the microphone volume. You can check this out by going to the little sound icon on your right taskbar, double click it, and on top of the bar, there is a speaker icon, press this and a window would pop up, you would want to go into the "level" tab and see if the microphone option has been muted or lowered. If everything is enabled and working.... I don't know about your mystery since your model spec does specify that there is no onboard mircophone.

to to the volume icon on the task bar then double click
then go to options, properties then select recording and click ok.
then make sure that the microphone is not set to mute and the volume of the mic is not all the way down

if you are using xp sp2, you need to go to control panel and then choose Sound and Audio Devices and then click voice tab from up, and click test hardware and in the end it will.

Normal 0 Go to Control Panel and Click on Sounds, Click on Audio, then Click on the Microphone. Then Click on the drop down and select Camera Microphone.
Click OK and it should work.
Hope this helps. Bud

1. whenever u chatting with yahoo messenger, sometimes the volume control of your yahoo chat has been minimized, then u increase ur volume and then it becomes ok.
2. When both u r using the same version it will be ok if u rn't using the same version it would get it.
3. check whether th mute is on, if it is make the mute off.

Troubleshooting - Can't get voice chat to work.
Here are a few things you should know and check for to get the voice chat to work. · Firewalls - the voice chat feature may not work well behind company firewalls. Even though you can get other features of Yahoo! Messenger to work, the voice chat feature uses separate technology and may not work as well.
· Check connection - When you enter into a voice chat with friends, each participant should take turns trying to press and hold down the Press to Talk button. Everyone else should see their name turn red when they do that. If you see their names turn red, but don't hear anything, it may be a microphone / speaker problem, or it may be that we have more bugs that we need to fix. If you don't see their name turn red, you are probably having connection problems and that's why it's not working.
· Get the latest version - Please make sure that everyone who is using the voice chat feature has the latest version.
· Check mic and speakers - Check that your microphone works and that your speakers are turned on. Here's how:
* make sure the mic is plugged in correctly.
* adjust the mic properties.
- go to the control panel (start button -- settings -- control panel)
- click on the multimedia icon
- you should see a tab for audio
- make sure that the recording volume is set high.
* you can test your mic. by doing the following.
- Click the Windows Start button, then go to Programs, then Accessories, then Multimedia, then click on Sound Recorder
- A new window called Sound Recorder will pop up. Click on the record button (a red circle), then say a few words, then click the stop button (black square).
- Click the play button (black triangle).
If you can hear yourself fine, then your microphone is okay. If you can't hear your voice using Sound Recorder, the voice chat should not work either.
