Microphone Problems

[TomaxTheMad]

Hello, I am having a bad microphone problem.
I have a Maximus Formula II with a Supreme FX Audio Card (Which I just got the latest updates off Asus.com) Quad Core Pc with Vista x64

My computer recognizes my Microphone but yet I cant record anything, use vent, or teamspeak. I checked all the volume controls and none of the settings have my mic muted.

Help!!! It was just working until 2 weeks ago.!!!

Exactly what happened to me. Except mine juts started a few days ago. Everywhere it shows mic unmuted, even in the test area for sounds!

Hi Tomax,

If possible try another microphone,

If you are saying that the update has done this then go to device manager click on your sound device to open it, right click on the opened up device and select properties, and click on the tab, driver you should now have the option to roll back the driver to the previous version.

If this does not work, or you were not saying the above then try a system restore;

You need to pick a date before this problem started.

I hope this helps

Thank you, but is an internal microphone and speakers that do not work. I have tried System Restore.
I do have audio if plug in to external jack.

Then try this, I dont know your card so I am guessing a bit, and my description might be a bit out

Right click on the speaker symbol in the notification area, you are looking for an option like playback devices click on this to open up the sound window, see attached picture.
You need to ensure that either the speaker symbol or you may have something like internal speakers is set to Default "Green Tick"
To do this, highlight the option say speaker and select Set Default.

The same applies to microphone under the recording tab

I hope this makes enough sense that you can understand it :huh: and I also hope that it helps.
