Although I have not followed this thread carefully, may I make a suggestion here. I don't know what recording software you have installed (e.g. Gold Wave, Sound Forge etc.), but to test the microphone why not use the Windows Sound Recorder - Program menu, Accessories, Entertainment, Sound Recorder. It only records for 1 minutes, but that should be sufficient to establish whether your microphone is working. Just record your voice and then play it back.
