Bought a plug and play creative microphone. Standard plug, plugs into the soundcard that is. No on off switch. I can't get it to record. I have all other input recording methods muted, microphone not muted. It is plugged into my Audigy, and my Audigy is the primary sound device. But all I get is a funny static. Very faint static through my speakers/headphones when monitored, and when not monitered when i record all that plays back is static as well. Like a buzz, faint buzz.
Any thoughts?  Thanks -Russ |

and plug and play? unless its USB its not really plug and play, but still, getting away from the point. |

Have you set that input as default in control panel?
Make sure you have in both the program control panel and Windows control panel! |

Buzzy noise to me makes it sound like you've plugged it into an output - for headphones or speakers.
Double check you gorrit right..

all mics hiss a bit when you turn it right up unless your talking about uber expensive pro stuff. the hiss is usually background noise from the rest of the pc.

unless the mic doesnt work, always possible.
also, he doesnt say that the audigy is his primary recording device, only his primary sound device. |

Sorry for late reply.
I have, in my sound options that my audigy is set to primary record device and primary playback device. I have the mic plugged into the mic jack on the soundcard around the back of my PC. The hiss i am getting, is when my Mic isn't muted in sound options, and it comes out from my speakers not from the mic itself. I get absolutely no activity from the mic other than this hissing through my speakers. Its probably something very simple i've not set properly but it all SEEMS to me that it is set properly. |

sounds like everything is set fine to me! im just wondering if its the Mic itself, have you got another pc/laptop that you could try it on just to be sure?

Or another mic you could try on that same setup.
