Dell XPS420 - Sound Card - Only Speakers Recognized
Last response: in Components
I am having some issues with getting my PC to recognize a Mic. The speakers work fine, but for some reason the computer is acting like it doesn't even have a Mic jack on it. I have tried uninstalling and rebooting ... going to the Dell Manufacturing site and checking that the drivers are up-to-date ... and I am having minimal luck. Any tips pushing me forward would be great.
