Ibrahim - Does sound come back as soon as you unplug the mike? Has plugging in the Mike altered any of your sound card settings? - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: Ibrahim Gucukoglu To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, January 25, 2013 9:45 AM Subject: [access-uk] Trouble with a USB mike Hi Everyone. Wonder if anyone can help here. I recently purchased the Blue Microphones Tiki USB microphone for my new Samsung laptop running Windows 7 64-bit. Whenever i plug the microphone in to my computer, all sounds including system and screen reader simply stop. I have tried to figure out what the problem might be but with little success. I have tried connecting an external sound card to restore speech while the microphone is plugged in, I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the device using device manager, nothing is doing. If anyone has a solution to this problem then please advise, otherwise this microphone is going straight back to Amazon. All the best, Ibrahim.
