Click Start-Control Panel-Sound and Audio Devices-Advanced under Device
Volume. If Microphone doesn't exist already, add it by clicking
Options-Properties-check Microphone and click OK. Now uncheck the Mute
box under Microphone. Now click Options-Properties-Click Recording,
check the box next to Microphone and click OK. Now make sure you have
chosen Microphone as the input and then see if it works.
