No recording device found

[SomeBloke]

Have just bought an ACER Aspire Timeline 5810TG laptop which came with vista but I installed Windows 7 home premium upgrade 32 bit.

Everything works except the microphone, I get the message "No recording device found" even though the device manager says the microphone is working correctly.

I believe a new driver is required but which one and how do I get and install it?

If anyone can help I'd be extremely grateful.

First suggestion is to go to Acer and download the Win 7 audio driver and install that.

I have an Acer laptop that I upgraded from Vista to Win 7 and fortunately everything worked. But some others may not be as lucky and in that case the first step is to go to the vendor and download Win 7 drivers or updated drivers.

Thanks Fireberd, I downloaded an updated audio driver from the Acer website, installed it and now the microphone works. It was on my daughters laptop and she wasn't home from college last weekend so I wasn't able to install it until now, hence the delay.
