Title: Canīt get my computer to Notice Microphone
Post by: Clrrr on October 07, 2016, 12:13:39 AM
Tried to different micīs I have itīs just not recognizing either.

Windows 7, G41m-vs3r2.0 motherboard with geforce210 graphics card.  I think it might because itīs set to the Hd audio from the graphics card so the motherboard isnīt recognizing the plug in in the headphone or mic.

If you could help me out with this Iīd appreciate it.  Thanks to the forums for this the stuff. I really appreciate it.

Glad to be of help. But what we did is unknown.
Most common failures of microphones are broken wires near the plug.
Also, some audio setup is different .
Another issue is when two programs want the microphone.
Normally your can not hear the microphone output when dictating. The confuse some users who expect the voice  come from the loudspeaker.
To test microphone, use the Windows sound recorder.

Below is a tutorial about the Windows Sound Recorder.

If he's tried different mikes as he stated it's unlikely the issue...
He needs to decide whether he wants the vid card for sound or onboard and set it up accordingly...

P.S.   you can't have both.

Yea I figured that was the problem. I kind of think it was the same thing last time when I used a mic, but I donīt remember what to do to fix it. If you could help out I would really appreciate it since I know your not obligated to do anything.

I would check and recheck all your settings in Control Panel/sound...
Make sure nothing is muted.

Have you tried going to the microphone settings (right click on the default sound icon in the task bar, then select "recording devices") and setting that microphone as the default. While you are at the screen you might as well talk into the mic and see if the green bars are moving. If they are moving, setting it as default will mean it will work
