microphone input

I tried that, but in the volume control panel that pops up, there is no column for microphone.

When the volume control options are open, at the top click options and then properties. The click the checkbox next to microphone and open click OK.

Then check that the microphone is not muted.

You might try double clicking the volume option icon on the bottom right corner and making sure the microphone is unmuted.

Let me know if that works

I tired that, and microphone is not there in the list of things with check boxes.

In the volume control window, click options again and tell me if there is more than one audio device and if so, be sure to select which one has the microphone available. The you should have the microphone option.

Click Options | Properties. Scroll down and Mic. is there.

I found the microphone in the recording section. Is there any way to have the microphone show up in the playback section as well?
