My microphone wont record sound

[manthey]

so I have bought 2 microphones and neither work properly, the computer recognizes them and might pick up bits and pieces of sound... but not usually. I have gone through the control pannel and checked to make sure the mic isnt muted, etc. HELP I AM GETTING SO IRRITATED

What driver is installed in device manager (type device manager in search>go to sound). Is the driver there? does it have a yellow triangle on it? Are there any other "unknown" drivers?
