Title: Trying to get Microphone to Work
Post by: 11clock on April 10, 2012, 10:15:46 PM
I'm trying to get my microphone to work on my Mac Mini that's running Windows XP via Boot Camp. I've been trying to follow tutorials I found on Google, but I'm always hitting brick walls. Here is my attempt to follow what most of the tutorials said.

I plug in my microphone into the pink microphone slot and get this notice.

I open up the volume control, click options, then click properties.

Now here is where I run into issues. The tutorial tells me to select 'Recording,' but it doesn't let me. I noticed that I have my audio output selected, so I switched it to my audio input.

Now the tutorial tells me to make sure 'Microphone' is checked, but I don't see that anywhere. I don't know what to do next; my microphone still can't record anything. Can someone help me?

Does the microphone work on OS X?

Doesn't work on the OS X either.

Maybe its a bad port. If you have a USB mic try that out.

My USB mic works, but it's inconvenient for me to use. I have to put it in a cup to keep it up right. The mic I want to get working is part of my headset.

Does the headset your trying to use work on other computers? Maybe its the one not working.
