Laura M Brunton

I tried to narrate and am not getting any sound. I also tried to do pc to pc
calls. I can here them but they can't hear me. Is there a way to test my
microphone? It is a plug in headset.

Hi Laura

Certainly sounds like a mike problem. I had a similar thing happen once and
after much troubleshooting and frustration and performing 'percussive
maintenance' I realised I had flicked a mute button on the volume control of
the headset... D'oh!

Presuming you aren't as dim as me, you can try testing your mike through
Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices -> Voice -> Test Hardware then
follow the wizard. Other help desk type advice would be to unplug it &
re-plug it, turn everything off and on, remove the hardware through device
manager & re-install, check for driver updates etc etc

Hope that helps
