What is wrong with my microphone?
I had a built in microphone on my computer, but then we got a virus. We still have the same computer and we completely fixed the virus. For some odd reason the BUILT IN microphone won't work anymore. I can't seem to figure out whats wrong... any ideas?

hi:
First, it´s not common that a virus can disable any microphone, a virus will practically all the time attack your computer, make it slow so you can´t even start it.
So, i suggest to you that check the connection back or front your CPU, then go to Panel Control , then to Sound Options (i will suppose that you´re using Win XP), then you must check and move up the microphone´s control.
Then if you like you can start a test to try it.
Good Luck(:

i'm a pianist. i won't be able to assume to get a similar outcomes out of a $one hundred Casio keyboard as i will a $one hundred,000 Bosendorfer grand piano. As a vocalist, your concern isn't any different. A $5 Radio Shack condensor mic can no longer learn with a $one hundred and fifty Shure. They react to moving air in yet in any distinctive case, the element interior the extra value-effective microphone isn't any different than the only on your landline telephone. the extra appropriate mikes are designed so they are unidirectional in this variety of style that they make the appropriate use of incoming air, on an identical time as battling extra pops and history noise from being picked up. the extra appropriate factors are additionally extra well-off and grant a extra precise electric powered present day differential. They connect via connections alongside with XLR or a million/4 inch phono relatively than a tiny a million/8 inch minijack. As a vocalist, you owe it for your self to prepare the appropriate kit you're able to arise with the money for. in case you won't arise with the money for sparkling, try used... I even have been given certainly certainly one of my extra appropriate mikes from an previous blues singer that presented to sell me his for $forty at a pawn keep. One very final element, making a song stay unamplified and making a song interior the microphone are different animals. there is that this variety of element as microphone technique which would be heeded to realize the appropriate outcomes. it fairly is hoping you get what you're after.

Did you "fix" the virus problem by reformating your computer by any chance? If so, did you re-install any driver that is needed for that microphone?
