Windows 7 doesn't let me use built-in microphone.
so..how do I know? I used to use Vista on my PC, and it worked perfectly without me having to plug in an external microphone or anything.
Also, right, I'm dual booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04
the microphone works great in Ubuntu using the sound recorder, but when I switch to windows 7, the sound recorder doesn't work at all. it won't take any noise no matter how loud I shout. (kinda silly yelling at my computer but still...)
this is my first post so I'm hoping that all the specs show up in my signature or something.
so the reason I wanna use the built-in microphone is for Google talk cause they got that new voice calling feature, and it keeps telling me I need to download the voice plugin even though I've downloaded and installed it like 10 times already. I've tried it in IE 8, chrome, and firefox and it doesn't work, so I'm thinking it's because Windows 7 doesn't recognize my microphone.
Here's what my current setting looks like:
Edit: I forgot to mention. I downloaded the driver from this site after the "default" audio driver didn't work after a fresh install of windows 7.
