More info?)
I don't know about the registry settings, if that has anything to do with
the mute issue or not, but this might be worth reading. I provided a link
for the entire article, if you are interested, you can click on it and read
it as well.
Speech recognition problems
If no sound is detected after you test the system, one of the following
conditions may be true: . The microphone is muted. Some microphones have an
external control for muting. Make sure that the muting is turned off.
. The microphone input level is set too low. To change this setting,
click the Speech Recognition tab, click Configure Microphone, and then
follow the directions in the Microphone wizard to set the input level.
. The microphone may not be selected as the current input device. To
change this setting, click the Speech Recognition tab, and then click Audio
Input to make sure that the microphone is selected.
. The microphone connections may not be correctly secured. Make sure
that the microphone wires are intact and unbroken. The connections to the
computer may be loose. Unplug the wires, and then reconnect them to make
sure that they fit snugly. See the "Set Up a Microphone" section for
additional connection information.
. See the documentation for the microphone's hardware for information
that is specific to the manufacturer. This information may include
instructions to make sure that the sound card for the computer is correctly
seated and installed and that the correct drivers are available.
. The speech recognition engine may be corrupted. To test, switch to a
different speech engine if you have one. See the "Change Speech recognition
engines" section for more information. If the other engine is working
correctly, reinstall the specific engine from the original source. If no
engine is working correctly, reinstall the speech recognition engine from
the original source or CD.
