Hi Moti, The microphone must show up in playback properties. 1. after you enter volume controls you should find a control for wave, cd , and others along with mute check boxes for each. If you don't find microphone by tabbing around do the following. 2. press alt for the menu bar and arrow down in the options menu to properties, presss enter 3. you will hear the name of your sound card/ mixer device. tab once and you hear adjust for playback, this is correct. tab again and you find a list of available controls to be showing. be sure the microphone is checked. you can use the space bar to check or uncheck these items. 4. now tab to and enter on ok. 5. now tab around and find your microphone control. it will have a mute box right after the up/ down slider. Note: this mute box will not keep your microphone from working to another person on the web. it will only serve to keep you from getting feedback to yourself and to facilitate the use of voice over if you are actually using the microphone with music on the web for performances. If your microphone is not working at all go back to properties in the options menu. After entering on properties again tab once and change the selection from adjust for playback to adjust for recording. now tab to ok and enter. tab to and make sure that the select box is checked immediately following the microphone up/down slider.

I get into properties, go around and can't find it. Can someone tell me step by-step, how to get it. I use winxp pro. I have the volume control in my system tray too. I sure find the microphone slider but not the checkbox to mute it or not.
