cant get my mic to work on new soundcard

Irish_PXzyan · Sep 8, 2008, 03:27 PM

hey guys.

I just got the Auzentech X-fi Prelude on my system and I can't get my damn mic to work.

I use a headset to use a mic but I can't get it working no matter what slot I put it in.

What on earth have I done wrong? What can I do to make it work?????

Sasqui · Sep 8, 2008, 03:37 PM

Obvious question, but did you look at properties under the master volume control and:

Make sure the correct audio device is selected for recording
Make sure it's not muted

Irish_PXzyan · Sep 8, 2008, 03:41 PM

In recording I see " Microphone " It says its currently unavailable??????

disable azalia codec on bios (Onboard audio - Codec chip Realtek ALC888)

When i had my x-fail i could never get the mic to work on vista.I use onboard now till i can afford a asus xonar.

Irish_PXzyan · Sep 8, 2008, 03:56 PM

I don't see azalia codec in the BIOS?
I turned onboard audio off.

I have tried all the settings and my mic still is not working.

Ive found that if you are trying to use the mic port on teh sound card and have the front headphone/sound ports plugged in on teh front of the case, the mic will not work.

modder · Sep 8, 2008, 04:18 PM

after googled it's Known Bug.Windows Vista (32bit)Default value mutes the MIC in all modes.
install new driver

little plagia
"Uninstall the current driver(s)
Go to ‘Start > Programs > Control Panel > Add or Remove programs
Uninstall the ‘Alchemy Driver’
Uninstall the ‘Dolby Digital Live Pack’
Uninstall the ‘Auzen X-Fi Prelude’
Reboot the PC
Browse to the new driver folder > Audio > Setup, then use ‘setup.exe’ to install
For messages that appear during installation, click ‘Continue’, ‘Yes’ or ‘OK’
Reboot your PC after completing the installation."

I have the green and pink ones in the sound card but I can hear everything fine.

People can hear me blow into the mic so it seems like my mic is super low?? Although all the settings have it maxed out. What can I do to turn it up?

Solaris17 · Sep 8, 2008, 04:23 PM

OMG!!!! i just had that same problem just now!!! ok here is what i did it said currently unavailable i was like WTF? so i have a 5-1 system so for my 5-1 system i have a green tip i plug it into the green slot a yellow and a black all go into their consecutive colors but i have another on my card blue and i plugged the mic into that and whalla all go
