GRIZZLY Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Sorry, I have not been on Steam lately. I'm rather disgusted with not have a opperable microphone. I bought a new microphone thinking that may solve the problem, nope. I try this windows 7 configure a microphone, can't get it to work. My sound card at the moment is a Asus Sonar, I have the latest driver and software installed. I'm thinking something in the software for the sound card is not configured correctly. In the past I have tossed computers in the closet in frustration bought another and everything works great but this computer is a little too expensive to just throw in the closet. Maybe I should just make a post, somebody might have an answer. Well if anybody has any suggestions feel free to let it rip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxygen Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Where are you having the problem of not being able to use your mic? Ventrilo or in-game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRIZZLY Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 Ventrillo, in-game, testing it in windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRIZZLY Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 This is what the software looks like. I am on the tab VocalFX, the only place I see where there could be adjustments to the microphone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cefdinir Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 are you sure that the mic you have plugged in is set to default? (right click the speaker in the system tray > recording devices > highlight the microphone by clicking on it > click set as default > click OK) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma# Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 http://techreport.com/forums//viewtopic.php?f=28&t=63615 They seem to be having fun trying to figure it out. http://www.kombitz.com/2009/01/14/microphone-problem-under-windows-7-and-vista/ http://www.gilsmethod.com/setup-microphone-speech-recognition-windows-7 These *might* help... although the instructions seem a tad redundant. Personally, I had a microphone (3.5mm jack, which is what non-USB headsets have) plugged into an X-Fi card... it would work unless I switched it to "Microphone" instead of "Line-In" I'm not sure, but I hope it helps!

Aaron Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 You know you can use your speakers as a microphone if the on-board jack is working. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(right click the speaker in the system tray > recording devices > highlight the microphone by clicking on it > click set as default > click OK) Grizzly this here should solve your problem. If it doesn't let me know via steam and i'll connect with your computer and check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRIZZLY Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 Ok Terry ready for you to connect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredTacos Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Okay so tried - Re-installing drivers. Switching mic from front to back of computer Set as default device for recording Windows records his voice fine No mute button on mic No applications (vent,steam) can pick up the mic. All you get is whatever sound is playing on his computer. I ran out of ideas, tried a few random things internet forums talked about but nothing helped. Grizzly is gonna try another sound card to see what happens. If anyone has ideas post them, if not, don't bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CantBeFaded Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 what kind of headset is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredTacos Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 what kind of headset is it? It's a separate regular mic. Not a headset. The problem isn't the mic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRIZZLY Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 I guess it could be disturbing for some people to give full access to your computer remotely, but everyone can trust Terry Taco with a computer problem. My microphone now works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
