I hooked up my mic to the jack in the back of my computer, how do I get it to work. x.x?

Question

How can I see if it's able to work?

Answer 1

As the mike requires no drivers, etc, it should just automatically work.

Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Entertainment > Sound Recorder.
Start the Sound recorder program, and start recording
Speak into the mic and if it is working, you will see it on the screen

If it is not working, make sure you have it plugged into the right connector on your sound card (there are usually three, but only one is microphone)
Go into the Volume Control and make sure the volume is up on the microphone (it has a separate volume from the speakers)

Answer 2

double click on the speaker icon bottom right hand corner, if mic is not showing do properites, recording and tick mic
then unmute mic and when u speak u should hear yourself via your speakers.
