Allright I have looked over a lot of sites including microsoft and I still havent got an answer.

Allright im sure you have probably heard this before but here goes, I can hear people with my headset but I cannot talk to them with my microphone.
Im guessing the problem lies with my voice and audio settings so heres some information.

Audio default devices
Sound Playback-Realtek AC97 Audio
Sound Recording-Realtek AC97 Audio

Voice default devices
Voice Playback-Realtek AC97 Audio
Voice Recording-Realtek AC97 Audio

Im pretty sure it has something to do with the voice defaults but I dont know how to change them so thats why I posted here.

Please help

Also when I run "Sound Hardware Test Wizard" and try to move on to the next step it says "Make sure your microphone is properly connected to your computer and that it is turne on. When you have checked the connection, click back to try the microphone test again" and after you do that and it fails again it says "If your voice is still not detected, you will be able to hear what other people are saying online, but they will not be able to hear you."

A few things to check, sorry if they're too obvious, but even the most obvious things can slip by even the best from time to time:
1. Does your mic actually work/is it unmuted? Like, if you connect it to another computer that is set up right, do you get audio input?
2. Is your mic plugged in in the right audio jack (usually pink/red)?
3. If you go start>programs>accessories>entertainment>volume control and display everything by going to options>properties and enabling every option, is the mic volume up/unmuted?
4. In that volume control panel, if you change your mixer device to th input option and enable everything, is everything up/unmuted?
and finally:
5. Are your drivers updated?

Well I noticed something interesting today, one of my friends was helping me by staying on voice chat while I tried to figure out what was wrong, he could hear himself talking and if I turned on my microsoft narrator he could hear that too but for some reason not my voice, also when I got a hardware update from realtek (brand name) the hardware could not be found a driver or something of that sort and all my sound went out so I had to do a system restore.

I have checked allmost everything I can think of, made sure it was plugged in, double checking to make sure everything was unmuted, I dont know what to do now.

I also found out something interesting it seems im not the only one with this problem, I went to realteks support and under Team Speak problems allmost everyone had the same problem and they usually started up after a reboot.

Sounds like the playback-capture loopback is selected and not your microphone for recording.

10-11-2006, 01:20 PM

So how would I change that? start>>>>control panel>>>>>sund speech and audio devices. and after that what do I do?

**Nick Lopez** · 10-11-2006, 01:38 PM

Double click on the volume icon in the tray (lower right hand corner); Options menu, Properties, Adjust Volume for: Recording, OK. Select Microphone and unselect Wave and everything else.

10-11-2006, 02:01 PM

Well I tried that, if I turn on the mic boost it gets a very faint reading from the sound of it.

Thanks, any other suggestions?

Also im running a modem if that might have anything to do with it.

10-11-2006, 02:05 PM

Also I have everything on for volume, would that the microphone too?

If you'd like to make an appointment, we'd be happy to troubleshoot this issue for you. It can sometimes be difficult to fix problems like these over the Internet because we simply can't see everything.

Call 626-8324 to set up an appointment if you'd like.

10-12-2006, 01:43 PM

This is the last thing I can think of that might help and im not setting up an appointment (sorry), even with the microphone unplugged they can hear my computer sounds, that includes EVERYTHING when in voice chat, thats the last thing I know that might help

Hope that last bit of information helps, if not thanks for trying.
