I have a gateway MX3563 laptop with windows XP home. I tried to use a
mcirophone for Yahoo messenger kind software. The microphone works
perfectly on my other laptops. However, it does not work on this one;
i.e. no sound or no voice can be heard by the person on the other
side. The microphone must not be broken because it works with other
laptops.
I checked the device manager and did not find any problem. In fact, I
just used system restore CDs to completely reinstalled the laptop to
original manufacturer's condition. But I still cannot use any
microphones (I have two microphones both work on all other desktops
and laptops with Windows XP Home or Vista) with this Gateway laptop.
For the same reason, I cannot use any microphone to record anything on
this laptop. It is already out of warranty.
Can anyone help? thanks!
P.S. This problem happened quite long time ago. (it happened way
before I damaged my keyboard (as in my other post.))

Start | Run
SNDVOL32.EXE
Menu options, properties and make sure your mic is selected
also once it shows up that it's not muted.
Mine also has a switch on the cord that will mute the microphone.

A Walkman, a transistor radio, a tape recorder, have a headphone output
jack. The signal on there, is a bit stronger than a microphone signal.
You can connect a Walkman to your computer, with a cable with male
connector on each end. The strong signal will serve as a means of
determining whether the jack works or not.

You have to go into "Recording Properties" and select the microphone as the
source. From the sound volume application, Options > Properties, then
select "Recording" and hit "OKAY" at the bottom. You will get a new window
for recording sources; check to ensure that "Microphone" is the selected
source.

Start at the basics, your laptop will have an intergrated/on-board
soundchip.
GoTo>Start>Settings>Control Panel>Sounds and Audio Devices
Click the "Audio" tab
Listed should be 3 settings for Sound Playback...
