No Mic recording.

Narzinor · 02-10-2008, 12:00 PM

hmmm, so I got a new mic to replace my old one, which I thought wasnt going to work with my new audio drivers, as it doesnt extend the pickup range more than 2 inches in front of it and I need it to be further back, but I cant seem to record anything. the mic says its working, but I cant pickup any sound other than direct talk into it from half an inch away. everything is up and unmuted and there should be no problem. it did this same thing with another mic, so I figured it was a soundcard issue. anyone know if there's a problem with mic recording with Realtek Vista drivers?

What kind of mic is it? I assume all your line in volumes are right up and you're not trying to use a mic that requires phantom

Make sure in your microphone input in the Volume Control that you have the Microphone Boost ticked - that will do the trick!
