Computer help. >.<

[Zatania Duvall]

I just used my sound recorder to send a recording to someone that needed voices for a cartoon. It worked just fine and I got the part. But now the sound recorder is broken. I need to fixed and I tried everything. :( The mic is new, so I don't think thats broken. I downloaded some other sound recorder to see if it'd work better, but thats when everything went haywire. Any ideas?

[Zatania Duvall]

Ack, no one knows how to help? :(:(:(

Give it time. I think all the computer buffs are in bed. :lol Just chill. You'll get a response that helps eventually!

pour water on your comp...

but seriosuly, I got no clue, I got the same prob with my mic, was workin a few days ago, same boat as you

[Morgan Evanar]

Operating System (Windows version?) and what kind of soundcard?

Also, try enabling the mic gain (boost) in the sound card volume controls. Of course, double check for stupidity and make sure the mic is plugged into the correct place.

Also, make sure you don't have the Mic Input volume muted. (By default, it is). It's happened to me before.

[Zatania Duvall]

O.o Could you explain that in plain english? I'm not a computer expert so I don't know how to do that. It's plugged in and I have a HP Pavilion mx70(if that even matters).

[Lord Gue]

go to ur controls and make sure the mic volume is turned all the way up

[Jehova Eaven]

Click on the little yellowish speaker on the bottom right of your taskbar. If its not there then you will have to click on start, settings, control panel, sounds, and then audio devices.

Someone else explain it... have to go to class....

[Zatania Duvall]

Okay I can hear myself talking in it now, BUT now it's crackling. How can I fix that?

[Liam Jinn]

Turn the mic volume down a bit?

[Zatania Duvall]

If I do that I can't hear my voice at all. My voice is very faint and the crackling is extremely loud.
