All the sudden the mic wouldn't work. I tried all the properties, but it couldn't hear anything. If I played a song or something on the computer, it recognized that sound,but not from the mic. I went to recording volumes, the mic is mute, and it won't allow me to unmute it. I reinstalled the drivers, but nothing. Just really strange. Any ideas?
edit: I even tried an whole new microphone as well. I haven't done anything different except add girder, but that has nothing to do with it.
Control Panel -> Speech -> Audio Input. Then configure the microphone.Quote:

I did hit alot of keys when using girder, but can't think of anything that would make it just stop working all the sudden. Im going to get a Creative USB sound thing tomorrow and use that. I wanted the mixer since I can't use the mixer on my machine.
Its probably muted in the mixer. NaviVoice doesn't have the ability to control the mixer (it had it till like 2 versions ago, but it was unused and I just took it out to free space).
What mixer would that be. I found out that I had been using 1.3 because I forgot to change the shortcut on my desktop.
Windows sound mixer. If its muted, then no apps will get to use the MIC.Quote:

And is there a way to unmute it from there. Thats the only thing I can think of. Ive tried everything. Im about to just go get the sound blaster so I can have a real mixer.
Does the microphone work for other apps? Maybe you turned recognitition off?Quote:

It wouldn't hear anything, and when you click volume, the mic volume for recording is mute, and won't become unmuted. Whats strange is, when I am playing a song, Navivoice can hear it. Its like it decided it never wanted to use the mic again and only listen to what the computer has to say. And I checked and changed the settings to make sure it was pointing to the mic in speech. Just strange. I did do recognition on and off, tried it all. Im going out now to just get the freakin sound blaster for $50. Just weird
later
It is weird. Still sounds like bad settings. Delete the drivers and install them again.Quote:
