Try this.  Click on the speaker in the task bar and then click Volume Control. Make sure
microphone balance isn't muted.  Then click on  Options in the upper left corner and in
the box that pops up click properties.  Then click Recording and then OK.  Now all the
sliders and options will be for 'Recording control'  be sure that nothing in there is
muted, and try adjusting the volumes and see if that helps.  Make sure the mic that you
know worked is plugged in correctly.

Hope this helps.

Dear Listers,

I can't seem to get any sound from my microphone.  I'm also supposed to
get sound from my monitor, which has a little mic in the front.

I've tried a couple different mic's on a toy piano, and one works.

Do I need a better microphone?

All other sounds work on my computer.

Running Win98 and have gone to sound recorder and tried.  I've also gone
in Master Volume and it's up all the way and not muted.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
