   Mic isn't working in Vista any ideas?
  Hi, I have a a common mic/headphone and it isn't working.The speakers work just fine, but the mic doesn't.  I checked, and triple checked to see if the pic was plugged in correctly, if it was on mute and it wasn't.I tried to install it/setup it up in Vista but I couldn't get pass speaking back to vista setting up the mic.I need this mic, for I have a program I'm writing that needs to be done by tomorrow night that involves grabbing the mic.Any alternatives, suggestions on what I can do?Thanks   
  Is the Mic set as the active input in the sound mixer?Right-click on the volume icon on the start bar (assuming you have this shown), and select "Show Audio Mixer." Go to the tab for "inputs" or "recording," and make sure that the Mic input is selected as the default input.;Quote:Original post by hplus0603Is the Mic set as the active input in the sound mixer?Right-click on the volume icon on the start bar (assuming you have this shown), and select "Show Audio Mixer."
