Make sure the mic is selected in the Volume Control Thingy. I'm on Win98 so I'm not sure if it's exactly the same, but check it: Double Click on Volume Control in the system tray, click on Options, then Properties, then Recording, and then check the box that says "Microphone." Click Ok, and then check the box that says "Select" under "Microphone." It's a similar process for other systems, prolly. Ah well. *twirl*
