First, you need to make sure that you have a sound card that supports a
mic input. Second, make sure the mic is plugged into the correct port.
Third, make sure the mic is chosen as the audio input device
(Start-Control Panel-Sounds and Audio Devices-Advanced (under Device
Volume). Now click Options, Properties, Playback, then click OK. Now
make sure the microphone is selected as the input audio device. You
will also need to make sure that you have the proper drivers installed 😉
