From: Sindre on 13 Mar 2010 09:46 Hi, I got a new microphone some days ago, and i want to make some narrating at a video i'm making. But the microphone wont work. The sound is on full and everything is unmuted. The driver is updated. I've tested it in Sony Vegas, Skype, Audacity and the built-in voice recorder. I'm using Windows XP 32bit HP m7695sc-a and Røde NTG-2 microphone with XLR to Jack cable What to do to get it working?

The first thing to do is consider two possibilities: 1. the microphone or its cable is defective 2. it's plugged into the wrong jack. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup

Besides what Ken said, you should also make sure you know whether you've plugged it into the microphone plug, or the line-in plug. Either will work for your microphone, but you'll have enable and unmute a different input in the control in the Advanced Tab of the Volume Control. Also, make sure that you use the Sound and Microphone Wizard in XP's control panel. Yousuf Khan

Either will > work for your microphone, A microphone won't really work if plugged into the Line-In jack, because the signal from a microphone is too weak to effectively drive it. (At best he might *barely* hear it).

Xp by default doest have a recording utility that records to any time over 10 seconds or so.Download windows encoder 9 series from microsoft,its recording audio/video time is only based on youre pcs hd.In the encoder, select:record audio/video,default sound,make a file to record to,start. Also,R.click the speaker by the clock,properties,options,properties,recording, chk line-in or mic.If you have a cassette deck,mic in to it,Record_Play_Pause will increase youre audio,line out from cassette,to line-in pc.If all else fails, go to start,run,type: DXDIAG Run the Direct X microphone tests.
