As has been discussed before, I am having trouble using my mic when trying to live DJ my Shoutcast performances... I have set the input device to soundcard input and it acts correct except for nothing coming from the mic. I go to the soundcard mixer and change the recording control from Wave Out to Microphone and all I get is microphone with no background music.

The sound card is the standard SoundMax that is integrated into the motherboard on the Dells...

Any suggestions???

Did the FAQ entry help? Seems like you're missing an active mixer entry.

Well...

After a lot of trying, I found the answer (at 2:00 am).

First, I installed a Dell provided driver instead of the one native in Win2k.

Second, in the mixer, on volume controls, I now had the mic output, but it was muted, so I unchecked the mute and all is working as it should.

(The driver replacement idea was from one of the threads in regards to a SBLive, but it worked here also.)

Thanks for the help all!!!
