Hi,
I have installed the SP2 onto my computer and now my microphone won't work
at all. It is not recognized by my computer for any of the programs I use it
for ie skype, messenger, dragon speak, team speak. It just seems to be not
there are all. It is plugged in and I have updated the drivers for my sound
card so I don't know what the problem is. I have tried searching for a
solution to this and there are alot of people with the same problem but no
anwers so far. If anyone could help that would be great. Thanks
