Hello Browngriz and welcome to the SevenForums.

It is quite impossible to help you when you tell almost nothing of your hardware. Knowing you have a Gateway is not enough. Please click lower left corner in your post and fill the form.

Welcome Browngriz to sevenforums.............

right click on the white space under the recorder tab and click show disabled devices.
You will probably find your mic now. right click on the mic and click enable.

 

[Browngriz]

Ok i updated everything, And when i took those screen Shots i already had disabled devices shown.

Sorry, that just was only thing I found. It's a bit strange that HP Support has all the possible 32-bit drivers but almost no 64-bit.

I don't know where to look. Still trying, though.

Edit: This happens when you are writing on two topics at the same time: both got wrpong answers. My bad

I am really, really sorry; I'm loosing it now!

The sentence about 32 and 64 bit HP Support was ment to completely other thread, not for you! You don't even have a HP!

Please forgive me messing it up!

You tried the pink jack already? If you used your mics pink jack to connect it to pink in XP, that's of course the way you should do it with Windows 7. Could this be so somple? Please connect your mic presisely like you did it with XP! Windows does not change jacks! Normally pink = microfon.

its lol, i just want to resolve this issue so i can have my full gaming experience back.

 

[Kari]

Ok. I'm totally lost. Your audio works, it tells that the driver works. So why don't mic work? I am still googling.

Hopefully some of the more technical geeks find this thread.

[Browngriz]

yes in xp the pink jack worked, but in w7 its not working. i dont even have a mic in my audio bar. and under recording it says black rca jack. which doesnt work either.

 

[Kari]

What do you see when you open Recording Devices (right click volume controller)?

 

[Browngriz]

Picture #2 is my recording options and the properties of that device on recording devices. i have yet to make this work.

 

[Kari]

Lets try something. Go to Device Manager, right click PCI Simple Communications, choose Properties > Details > Harware ID. You should find the manufacturer (VEN_****) and device (DEV_****) codes here. Could you please tell those codes.

Pci\ven_8086&dev_29a4&subsys_505a107b&rev_02
pci\ven_8086&dev_29a4&subsys_505a107b
pci\ven_8086&dev_29a4&cc_078000
pci\ven_8086&dev_29a4&cc_0780

 

[Kari]

That was not it. You know, this PCI Simple... can be almost anything. It can be video, audio, modem or chipset. In your case (Vendor 8086 and Device 29a4) it seems it is this:

Intel Management Engine Interface 2.0.18.1118

So this is not going to help us.

Funny, this is the first issue I've answered here on SevenForums I am absolutely, completely lost. Not a clue. Comical feeling that is something very simple what we are not noticing.

Still googling...

This issue is driving me mad, like I tell here.

Still googling...
