Microphone Backwards?

[B1izzard]

Hi, dunno how this happened but when I try to use my microphone to chat with people it just plays whatever noises are coming out of my computer and nothing from the mic. When I go into the thing to setup mic it shows the bars moving whenever a sound from the comp plays. Any idea why its doing this?

Check your levels, is MIC set to low and other levels set higher in audio properties?... are you using Vent to chat etc or some other app for chatting?

I am using Vista. when I enter the sound thing under recording tab  it has mic, line in, cd audio, and stereo mix. when there is noises coming from the computer mic and stereo mix bars jump like they are speakers and it plays the noises in the chat programs.

I want to use Teamspeak to chat but it doesnt work with any app.

Make and model of sound card?

Also need to know your complete sound setup (speakers, headphones, what ever you're using...)
