Carl,
First I would make sure the microphone actually works.
Click START -- PROGRAMS -- ACCESORIES
and run the SOUND RECORDER program.
Before recording, click EDIT -- AUDIO PROERTIES
Make sure the center section is set to your sound card
AND the volume is up all the way.
If you can record (the circle button) and play back (the single
triangle button) sound, then your problem is most likely with
the configuration of the voice software or the modem is not
capable of voice.
If you can not record and playback sound, then your problem
is moste likely hardware related. Dead mike or a bad sound card.
And with a laptop, you should hope for a dead mike since the sound
is probably part of the main board..
Good luck,
Jim Meagher

Hello,
I have a Compaq 1230 laptop that I would like to use to make voice
telephone calls.
I have been able to make a connection and I can hear the other person but
they can
not hear me. I have reviewed my microphone connections and computer settings
with
Compaq and CompUSA tech support but this has not helped. Also CompUSA tech
support has installed the latest drivers, still without success.
I would like to ask the experts at PCBuild 2 questions:
1. Is it possible to make voice calls using the existing hardware in my
Compaq 1230?
2. If not, can you recommend a specific modem that I could use that would
enable voice
conversations? (The Compaq 1230 can accept a Type 1 or Type 2 PC Card).
