I'm at the end of my rope playing around with this dang mic. I've got a Compaq Presario 5451 and a Compaq MV500 monitor with a mic built in. I was trying to use the AOL Instant Messenger voice chat and I could hear a litte, so my cousin fixed it on the other end and I got to where I could hear good. Then he had trouble hearing me, so I turned every mic volume control I could find all the way up and spoke close to the screen and it worked OK. He told me to just go out and get a regular headset mic and that would work much better. Well I got one at Radio Shack this morning, got home plugged it in and it didn't work, so I went to the volume properties and raised all the mic volume and changed it from playback to record like the salesman said at Radio Shack and still nothing, so I switched it back to my screen mic and still nothing. I was using sound recorder to test the mics and I even tried the yahoo voice chat wizard to set up and test the mics. Could someone please help me. Thank you in advance
