Guest paulrevere Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 hello I have windows xp service pack 2. I have a sound blaster audigy soundcard (not SE or 2) along with 2 boston acoustics speakers and a subwoofer. what I am trying to do is get a generic white microphone from an old computer to work on this one. It has worked before, but I have replaced the motherboard since. Anyway on the right speaker there is a port for mic as well as headset, yet the comp doesnt recognize the mic when i plug it in. I have everything unmuted and my soundcard drivers updated to the best of my knowledge. I do have a logitech webcam that has a mic as well, that works but I prefer not using that one for various reasons. so i disabled that mic in device manager. I try to select the new mic in control panel>Sounds>Voice tab, but when i select SB Audigy Audio [bC00] for voice playback and recording and then select test hardware it doesnt recognize my mic.... i appreciate any help, as ive had this working before but not sure what is wrong..

Well.. you mentioned your SPEAKER having a port for a mic and headset... but said nothing about having anything plugged into the mic or input ports of the actual sound card itself - where there would have to be something plugged in from the speakers for the ports on them to function correctly.... -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
