Windows Mic Test

Test your sound and microphone through Windows. This usually identifies problems with your sound and microphone hardware.


Open Windows Start menu, then select Control Panel, then select Sounds and Audio Devices.
In Sounds and Audio Device Properties, select the Voice tab.
Click the Test Hardware button.
Go through the steps in the Sound Hardware Test Wizard as prompted.

 

Yes, I recently had to do the same due to a capture card I installed. To get my mic to work I had to disable the capture card and go to "Sounds and Audio Devices" in Settings. Click on Voice and run the "Test Hardware". I did that and viola, It worked. Hope it works for you.

ok that test shows its working yay

does this headset work with outlook express or notebook or those kind of programs or do i need special software for that

can i say what i wanna typoe and it will show up

 

Sorry, it's not voice recognition, you need the SW to get that going and it's pricey. Use it for your IM convos to talk to a buddy etc.

 

I forgot to mention that if you have Vista, they do have voice recognition, it's not bad for commands but sucks in dictation. That's the RC2 that I tried. Hopefully it will get better for RTM. BTW, it gets old fast correcting all the errors.
