Hello!

I've got laptop Acer Aspire 5102 and microphone built-in the laptop. I run (I'm not sure how it should be in English Windows version because I've got other language) Accessories -> Entertainment -> Sound register. I press red circle and touch microphone by my finger. I definitely hear the sound of this touching repeated in speakers of my laptop, however it is not recorded. I stop recording, move to the beginning, play start and I cannot hear anything.

What should I do to be able to use my microphone properly in Windows XP on my laptop?

Thanks for help in advance :-)!
Greetings :-)!

Check the volume setting for the Mic.

... make sure its not muted "sndvol32"

... sounds like you have selected "line-in"

... (type) mmsys.cpl (in run)

... click "Audio" (tab)

... under sound recording click volume "check" select microphone

... if not there click options (tab) properties check "mic"
