double click the speaker icon in the bottom right of your screen, goto options>properties. click the tick box next to microphone in the list, click ok, then ensure the mute box is unticked in the original window.

Oh, didn't know it was on vista, I was going by how it was on XP assuming it's fairly similar to how it is on vista too, sorry, I don't know then.

Try this
Start, Control Panel, Sound, Recording, click on the mic icon and select properties, then click on the levels tab and see if the sliders are all the way up

If you are still looking for the answer to this annoying problem, I have the solution. A lot of the problems with finding the solution is that some people are speaking about Vista and some are speaking about XP. REGARDLESS you are going to kick yourself when you figure out how easy this is (I know I did).
Open Sound from the Control Panel. Go to the Recording Devices tab. Get ready for this because it made me feel dumb...Right click in the window of populated results for recording devices. You have to select to display disabled devices. Apparently Vista thought making this the default and having people search relentlessly for the answer epitomized a user friendly system haha. Do not worry Windows 7 is on the way and apparently it is all that Vista was supposed to be. |
