Under Start | All Programs | Accesories | Entertainment | Sound Recorder

 

Does it record from the mic? [record, then play back] Some hardware does not

allow sound to pass directly through the mic to your speakers. How about

starting sound recorder, click record, then pause it. May hear it that way:

may depend on your sound card.

That's an unwanted effect in most cases; it causes feedback. If you

wanted to sing to Karaoke, you'd want that though. To get it, try

turning on the Mic under Playback in the Properties section of "Sounds

and Audio Devices".

 

Also look through these Google hits on the question.

Re: speaker -have sound but not the mic

 

For the MIC to work ( record your voice) you must have 1. A functioning MIC

[ stating the obvious:-) ]

2. MIC is inserted into the MIC port ( unless it is a USB/ Fire types)

securely.

3. MIC Port (usually Red or pink or with a MIC Icon by its side) must be

functioning ( ie the port is connected to the Sound card or is part of the

sound card )

4. The Sound card ( either Integrated with MoBoard or inserted in the PCI

slot of MoBo) must be OK ( undamaged hardware) and properly inserted (

looks OK if you can hear music CD or Windows Startup music.

5. The Device Manager should show that the Sound Card has the correct

driver for the Operating System ( No error symbols)

6. That you have selected this Device driver in the "Audio" tab. [ Under

the section "Sound Recording" "Default device": box [ Start >Control

Panel> Sounds and Audio Devices> Sound and Audio Devices Properties> Audio

(tab)> Sound Recording" (section)

 

The Sound Play back seems OK as you are able to hear Audio CDs through your

Speaker. Otherwise that must be the same Driver as in Recording in your

setup ( with a single sound card) . Use the down arrowhead of the respective

"Default device" boxes to choose. the correct device driver

7. Sound Volume in Recording and Play back to be adjusted and not "Muted".

Hope this helps.
