 How
to Turn On Your Microphone
Make
sure your microphone is plugged into the
microphone jack for your computer system. To
be sure of this, check your system setup
procedure:
(Windows
2000):
START> PROGRAMS> ACCESSORIES>
ENTERTAINMENT> SOUND CONTROL.
If
you do not see your microphone controls in the
window, click on OPTIONS> PROPERTIES.
Once in the PROPERTIES menu, verify
that the box next to MICROPHONE is checked.
You may also want to make sure "LINE
IN" is checked also.
(WindowsXP):
START> ALL PROGRAMS> ACCESSORIES>
ENTERTAINMENT> VOLUME CONTROL.
Use
the instructions from Windows2000 above.
(Windows98):
START> PROGRAMS> ACCESSORIES>
ENTERTAINMENT > VOLUME CONTROL.
Use
the instructions for Windows2000 above.
To
check your microphone after turning it on,
go back to the "Entertainment tab using
the instructions above but select "SOUND
RECORDER". Speak into the microphone
while looking at the sound graph (green line).
As you speak you should see the line change
according to your speech. If the line does not
change, there is still something wrong with
the sound setup. Check your microphone
connection to ensure you are plugged into the
microphone jack on the computer and that the
connection is pushed in all of the way.
If
you are still experiencing trouble and you've
gone through all of the procedures outlined
above, please check to make sure the
microphone is one recommended for your system.
