Also, look in your sound settings and make sure your mic is not muted.

doesn't work for what? are you trying to record or just hear the sound form your speakers? try this: start, All Programs, Accessories, Entertainment, Volume Control, Options, Properties, Recording, make sure the Microphone checkbox is checked and click OK, now make sure the Microphone is selected and that the volume is all the way up, now exit the window and see if that fixed your problem

Hmmm....i would advise trying another mic. Maybe it is your mic that is dead.

OK do as follows: start, All Programs, Accessories, Entertainment, Volume Control, Options, Properties, Adjust volume for=Recording, show the following volume controls:=all boxes checked, click OK, now post a list of all of the names of the volume controllers.
