Windows Vista and Microphones??? HELP ME!
 

How the fuck do I turn the Mic up?... :thumbsup

seriously.... :thumbsup :thumbsup

how can i turn of vista ?

Vista sucks

there's no direct sound in Vista
it's all per-program
so whatever program you are using you have to adjust it's settings
or look in the volume mixer

Right click the volume icon in the bottom right hand corner. Click on recording devices. Double click microphone. Click the level tab and adjust how loud it is there.

PEBKAC :error

vista doesn't suck... people are just not use to the new features and settings. people said XP sucked till they got use to all the settings.

go to control panel -> Sound -> Recording, make sure your mic is plugged in.

right click volume icon in the system tray.
select Recording Devices
Select your Microphone from the Recording tab
Select Properties...
Make sure device is enable
click Custom tab, check Mic Boost
Select Level tab increase to about 80
Advance tab change the format if you llike, select apply
Then open open up the Recording prorgam and record a sound clip.

i had the same issue. vista doesn't suck just confusing and takes getting use too. security settings are a pain in the butt, i wasn't able to save to my C:\ root the first day. Had to call MS support, disabled all security... little to much protection for me. good for newbies though.

.....duh

thats a really stupid idea :mad:

Did you try downloading new drivers for your sound card? I know creative has released a few different vista drivers for audigy series cards because they can't get their shit together. They even stated themselves that vista exposed bugs in their drivers so they keep releasing new builds.
