Right im new to all this so sorry in advance for being so dim. Just bought a microphone today and it doesnt work. I stupidly thought i could just plug it in and away i go. I keep seeing this realtek thing everywhere.....do i need to download this for it to work? Or do i need other stuff such as a soundcard? CONFUSED!!! Sorry again.

Do Start, Run, then type,

Is the Mic un-muted in Windows Volume Control. If Microphone is not displayed in V.C., then click Options, then Properties, check mark the Mic box to get it displayed.

If this is an Onboard (motherboard) sound card, I would disable it in BIOS, then buy a Sound Card made for XP, and install it and drivers. They are not all that expensive.

What are trying to do with the microphone? You may not need it at all. Try talking or recording at your keyboard without using anything. I know it sounds stupid, but try it.

Have you plugged the microphone into the correct socket? This is a common occurense.
