Can't hear narration

[WordSmooth]

I just bought a nice microphone to record narration with Power Point. I see
in previous comments that I should not record into Power Point, but I just
want to make it as easy as possible to start out. I have tested the mic
through the Control Panel and I hear my voice playing back. But when I record
in Power Point, I just hear static. I had a cheap mic before I did
successfully record on Power Point, but it sounded terrible. Anyone know what
I need to do?

Hi Wordsmooth (nice name )

Please don't take this the wrong way but I had a similar problem and spent
HOURS messing with settings and checking this and that until, just before I
threw the stupid computer out the window, I discovered the mute switch on the
headset volume control...

I'm using a heavy hand-held mic (Samson C01U) that doesn't seem to have a
mute button. Any other thoughts? Thanks. WS
