My microphone will not work, and my computer won't recognize!
I can hear audio, but I can't record. In fact, even though I can hear the audio, when I check which sound system is installed, it says the default sound system, but that could not be right because I am using CV-361 Coby Headphones. Basically, the problem is, that I cannot get my computer to recognize my headphones, even though I can hear the audio. But the microphone will not work. P. S. All I know about the product is that it is a Coby Headset (mic/headphones) CV-361. Nothing else. i cant record the mic is on but it wont work
Re: My microphone will not work, and my computer won't...
Common problem with this headset.
In short, the wiring for the mic in the left earpiece is quite shoddy, and over time will be worn away by changing the mic position or come loose with minimal effort.
Have had a over a dozen of these fail in our internet cafe due to this issue after a couple of months use.

First of all, you need to install a webcam with microphone on your computer. If you just want to record your voice, you can just a headset with microphone. The easiest way I found though was to use a video recorder or even a cellphone that can record video then transfer your video to the computer then log on to YouTube to upload it.
<p>Line-in <br />
<p>1. Buy a software package for recording music, if your
budget allows. Recording music software is specifically designed for recording
musical instruments formed. He cannot offer features found in common software
audio. Alternatively, an audio recording program for free to get the music
recording software than your needs and budget. <br />
<p><br />
<p>2. Buying a guitar cable to your computer if you use an
electric guitar. Connect the larger end of your guitar amplifier and the small
end into the computer microphone / line-in. <br />
<p><br />
<p>3. For an external microphone when a traditional guitar.
Plug the microphone into the computer microphone / line-in. A stereo microphone
is a natural sounding audio file, due to the dual microphones. <br />
<p><br />
<p>4. Open your audio recording program, which recognizes the
device connected to ensure the microphone / line-in. Pull the cord, again if it
does not recognize the device. Change the settings for the recording program to
your needs to adapt, you can file type for quality change, and the recording is
mono or stereo and audio level. Press the Record button, then started playing
guitar. <br />
<p><br />
<p>5. Press the "Stop" button when you finish the
game. Some programs can automatically be prompted to save the file; others may
be the audio file first. Press "control" and saving "S", if
not prompted. <br />
<p><br />
<p>Digital recorder <br />
<p>1. Buy a stand-alone digital recorder, if you do not want a
guitar cable or an external microphone. A stand-alone digital recorder is small
enough to fit in your pocket and can be placed anywhere without the need
hampered by a cable. <br />
<p><br />
<p>2. Set the digital recorder on a flat surface. Press the
record button. <br />
<p><br />
<p>3. Press the digital recorder, "Stop" when
finished. Connect the recorder to the computer with data cable. Open the device
by clicking on "Start" then "Computer" and double click on
the recorder in the "Removable Devices". Copy the file from the
recorder to your computer. Turn off the burner when you are ready to save
battery power.<br />
Depending on what audio production program you are using you will need to have the monitoring function engaged. Comment with what program and I can walk you through it.
Good Luck,

I have written a guide on How to convert Records and Tapes to CD. I have found that when someone asks me a question like yours here is what I tell them. Go to http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Download the program Audacity. It is a completely free program. It works great for many audio applications. It does not have spware or adware or anything like that attached to it. In fact many studios use this program. Click on the Download Audacity 1.2.6 link to download the program. Install the program and open the main window. In the middle of the window you will see a field that is labeled Microphone. If the field is not set to Microphone then change it by clicking on the drop down menu. There are two slider controls to the left and right of the small microphone icon. Click on the sliders and set them at about 1/2. These 2 controls are your microphone input level and your Audacity main volume control. Now simply click on the round red record button. Talk into your microphone. If your mic is recording you should see recorded sound waves in the middle of the window. Click on the square stop button and then click on the rewind button. Next click on the green play button. Make sure your computer speakers are turned up. If this doesn't work your sound card may not have recording capabilities or you may have your mic plugged into the wrong connection on your tower. You can move the mic to a different connection and try recording again. Just don't plug into your speaker connection this could damage the microphone. You can check to see if your sound card has recording capabilities by competing the following On your desktop click on start - control panel - sound, speech, and audio devices then click on sound and audio devices. When the small Sound and Audio Device Window opens, click on the audio tab. Under the title sound recording, you should have a sound card listed in that field. For example my card is a SoundMaxDigital Audio. The field is right next to the small microphone icon. If there is no card listed you can buy a cheap one online or even at Wal - Mart. They are very easy to install. You just find an empty slot on *********** board and your computer should recognize the card.
