Hi Michael,
     My best guess is that there may be a discrete switch on your microphone. 
This would turn it off to prolong the life of your batteries. If you are not 
sure if it is the microphone or the sound card settings..., start recording and 
then plug the microphone in to the card. If you get a terrible scratching sound 
on your recording then your sound card and settings are working. 

God bless,
Mark

Subject: [Blind-Computing] microphone problems


Hello listers,
I can't get my microphone to work on my laptop.  I bought My mic at RadioShack. 
 It is one of those that takes batteries.  I have all ready gone in to the 
recording control dialog and turned up the volume on the Microphone.  Also on 
the line in.  I Have played around with the play back option.  To know avale.  
Every time I go in to sound recorder to try and make a file, nothing happens.  
When I try to play it back no sound.  I am running windows XP pro and jaws on 
my laptop.  Can some one please help?  Thanks
Michael
