Hi List, JFW 6, XP SP 2, and onboard sound card. Recently I've not been able to obtain any input from my mic. However my screen-reader is heard - together with me typing apparently. I can varify the former from doing tests in Sound Recorder. I'm sure I've seen a solution to this kind of scenario before, but can't for the life of me remember what it was! My Mic volume is set to 90 %, and the 20 DB boost, and mute checkboxes are checked and unchecked respectively. Any ideas?
