So, when your windshield wipers work on your car, that means the engine is
fine?
When the cold water works in your sink, the hot water automatically works
too?

In other words, just because one component of your sound card seems to be
working fine does not mean it is working 100%. Discover the manufacturer of
your sound card and see if there is a driver newer than the one supplied by
Microsoft for your sound card that is known to fix issues.

ok Currie.. calm down. I'll check the driver and update it, the only reason i
didnt before is that my speakers are working fine so I thought the driver was
fine and it just had to do with the mic. But u say that the sound card wont
make a difference with the speakers, ill update the driver....

You might also want to double-check the plug.. make sure that it is in the
pink/red socket..

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
