    Creative Fatal1ty headset + built-in laptop microphone problem


    hey all, yesterday I have bought myself a new headset which is well known for its fairly low price combined with a good quality device. I'm talking about the Creative Fatal1ty headset.

    The reason I bought this headset was because my laptop's built-in mic is from a very crappy quality (the quality of the recorded audio is very poor). So now I have this headset there is one big problem, whenever I record sound or speak through Skype with my family/friends the headset is plugged in (and yes, I have plugged it in the correct headphone jack and microphone jack) into my laptop. But the sound that is being recorded is still being recorded by the built-in microphone and not by the microphone that is attached to my headset. How do I disable the built-in mic?

    This is really annoying me...

    kindly regards
      My Computer

Hi, i was wondering if anyone could help. I recently installed Windows 7 (build 7100), and now am unable to get the mic to work on my headset (Creative Fatal1ty). I've changed it to the default, but it's just not picking up any sound. Tried it with skype, ventrilo and the speech recognition...
