yeah your microphone is an audio function. and you are going to need a driver for it. Is your os 323 bit or 64?

Here is latest audio driver for your notebook:
http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles%5CDriver/Audio/Audio_Realtek_v6.0.1.5704_VISTAx86x64.zip?acerid=633676011002363590&Step1=Notebook&Step2=Aspire&Step3=Aspire%208730&OS=V10&LC=en&SC=PA_7

It only lists Vista32/64. So you may need to run installer in Vista64 compatibility mode

Have you gone into control panel>sounds and checked to see if your microphone is enabled and not muted in mixer?

A lot of the ... Analog Devices ... SoundMAX integrated microphones simply don't work in Windows 7. And likely won't until the manufacturers pressure Analog Devices for a driver update.

I haven't made the integrated mics work on any of the HP laptops we support.
