help needed (mic not working)
« on: July 30, 2011, 12:32:28 PM »
Hello,
I have an Acer laptop with windows XP and office 2003.
It has a built in microphone which worked just fine before formatting the computer few days ago. Now it does not work anymore. It is a Realtek AC 97 type.
The speakers work just fine. Does anybody know what to do?
Thanks

Allan

After reinstalling the OS did you install all drivers starting with the chipset driver?

Open device manager. Any yellow or red symbols?
