Pleading for help from a techie!

I hope this is the right forum for my question… If not, oh well.

I am having trouble configuring my microphone (one that is built in to my monitor) so that it registers that, in fact, there are sounds out there.

After reformatting Betsy, things just aren’t the same, of course. I can’t remember how and where I did this before…setting the sensitivity levels and such.

If anyone can offer any help, I would greatly appreciate it!!!

It would be a great help if you could post specifics about your computer and operating system…

Personally I am not familiar with a microphone built in to a monitor, but every little bit helps.

I may not be able to help, but hopefully someone else can.

When I was in high school, the computer lab had Macs with mic’s built in to the top of the monitors. Of course, I don’t know a damn thing about Macs.

Try going to the little speaker thingey in the lower right corner of your win 95/98/NT4/Win2K desktop and double clicking it.

Raise and/or lower the sensitivity of the Mic control.

Also, remember to make sure the Mic is plugged into the right port on the soundcard, and that your soundcard software doesn’t have a Mic control, cause it will probably pre-empt the WinDoze control panel in the system tray(the thingy in the right lower corner).

Thanks, Gawd. I was messing with the volume controlls the other day and evidently didn’t check/uncheck the right combinations of boxes and such.

So, when you said to go back in there, I saw somthing that I had missed. That did the trick. I can now record my voice.

thanks,
Linney
