NewGuy2005 53 #1 July 3, 2009 Just plugged a new mic into my machine and the machine does not hear it. It's turned on. It's plugged into the right jack. My speakers work fine so my drivr and sound card must be working. Any ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSE 5 #4 July 3, 2009 it may be that your microphone requires a preamp. could be that your microphone and your soundcard have an impedance mismatch, could be that your "what you hear" isn't enabled in your audiocard setup, lotsa possiblities. post more detail?

Impedence mis-match? Sounds like me and my kids. I'll try to dig around and find out more about my audio card. Hope you are feeling better. Thanks, everyone.
