Hi Ari, Go into Volume Control, Properties, select your mixer device, then select adjust options for recording rather than Playback, which is the default, then press enter. Now check if mute is checked. If it is, uncheck it.

I've been using a microphone ok, so it's not anything to do with the hardware itself. Someone has unfortunately changed one of the settings on this computer, so that, when I speak into the microphone to test it, as the recording I get JAWS speaking back to me, and the microphone's not working. The checkbox in volume control by mute microphone is not checked, but it seems to me that there is some or other setting that's not right, even when I try and use the echo test, instead of my speech into the Microphone, I just hear this recording of JAWS repeating what it has said. The Microphone is plugged into the correct jack, it's actually a sort of headset thing. Thanks Ari
