Updated Acer laptop to W7 - No microphone?
Hi everyone.
I've recently installed Windows 7 Professional 32 bit onto my girlfriend's laptop.
It's an Acer Aspire 5920G. I've been onto their site to look for drivers and downloaded the Realtek sound driver, but nothing.
The only problem I've come across is the microphone appears to be installed and in the properties it says the device is working properly, but it doesn't pick up sound at all.
Under Recording in Manage Devices in the Sound options area of the control panel it tells me it is High Definition Audio and that the device is ready, with a green tick on the microphone image, but the small bar to the right of it doesn't pick up sound.
I installed W7 over her Vista OS as a fresh install, not an upgrade, and the microphone worked fine with Vista.
I've had the same problem on my laptop as well, everything is fine, other than the microphone picking up sound.
My OS was run through Bootcamp however, as a fresh install as well.
Does anyone know the cause to this and how it can be fixed as me and my girlfriend really need our microphones to work as we tend to be quite far apart at times and talking to each other through the use of programs such as Skype is really useful.
Thank you to anyone who knows how to fix this.
