volume control does not appear....so going into properties and I click
on recording device...OK now it is tehre but its muted....unclick mute
and try and get voice to go...no joy....go back in and it is muted
again.....and again and again...

I'm totally %&&#$(#((# off!!!!!, this is yet another problem with sound
in dimdows.......I have spent a year trying to get sound going in
BF2142...Ive gone through 3 motherboards, and now 3 sound cards....up
until now the mic always worked in XP/2000 but never in the game....so
after adding a creative x-fi extreme gamer sound card which was
recommended for the game and a fresh install of XP I have no mic at
all....so I am actually going backwards....FFS....
</rant>

Gonna borrow a usb windows webcam overnight.....see if that works for
the mic....

:/

At the moment I am trying to find (via google) a windows registry
setting that will stop this or lock it on....I'm wondering if there is
something going on with front v rear jacks/pins....some articles talk
about auto sensing which pair is being used....so I'm wondering if I
need to lock it to the rear jack....as the "auto sense" (sounds like an
oxy-moron to me) is not sensing which properly then disabling the input
as it detects no jack is inserted.

regards

I'm not having problems of that magnitude - I am not a games person at all
and use it simply for Skype with the motherboard (Gigabyte GA7VM400M-RZ)
sound system.
Mic remains on in playback mode (where I don't need it) but every time I
make or receive a Skype call I have to go in and turn the funking thing on
in record mode. It will then stay on until I re-boot, and then I have to
turn it on again.
It will not stay turned on over a re-boot, the setting on 'record' mode
does not appear to be 'sticky' - but the setting in 'playback' mode is -
and, in the words of the finance company advert, "I ... just ... don't ...
know ... why!"

yes Im experimenting with IM using a webcam at the moment and skype
soon....and I am finding its not going to be usable for the reason....

Im hoping that a mic built into the USB2 webcam will at least get the IM
and skype going........

Do you have Skype installed? I had a similar problem and eventually
tracked it down to Skype constantly changing the audio settings.

Not yet....we are looking at a video conferencing pilot and things like
IM, skype, VoIP are all in the mix....so I'm piggy backing off work for
home....so I get to see/trial for free a range of webcams....the logitec
9000 is looking good but probably a bit OTT....

Just to add a detaill for clarity, I'm connecting via the sound port, not
USB.

Seen this?

May not solve your problem. But since Skype's in play, possibly worth a
look.
