cannot hear mic

I am unable to get the microphone to work on a
computer that has a Soyo P4S Dragon Ultra motherboard with onboard
audio using Windows 2000. I checked all the
software controls to see if they were turned down or muted and they were

ok. I used a couple different mics and a webcam with mic and none
worked.

Next I installed an Aureal soundcard after disabling the onboard audio
in bios. All of the drivers were installed by Win 2k and no problems
showing in device manager.

The external speakers were connected to the soundcard and also the mic
to the same soundcard and still unable to hear the mic!! (The
speakers work when playing audio files).

You solved the problem. The mic in the software mixer has a blue/gray button
below which wasn t on. I didn t notice before.
