Hello everyone. Sorry for a rather newbie-ish question, but I've become pretty stumped.
I have a Soundblaster X-fi audio card, and Windows XP. Pretty old setup, but it has worked fine for me most of the time. I have recorded stuff before and used Skype for the occasional audio call (very infrequently, though), and I know I've gotten it to work. Well, today I tried to call someone using the Skype service, and although my mic is on and I can hear my own voice through the headphones, nothing is being broadcast. Tried the sound test on Skype, and even went into goldwave to attempt to record a test file. No voice coming through. Checked mic settings in windows control and they seem ok, although strangely, the box that seems to apply to this micophone jack is "line in 2/mic 2", and not "mic 1"...I don't have another mic, and I seem to remember this always being the case anyway. When I check the mute box for "mic 2" I don't hear a thing; unchecking it gives me mic pickup in my ears. So, it seems to me that the jack is basically working, but somehow it isn't being recognised as an input device or something like that. Any ideas? I'm most perplexed at the moment. Thanks folks.
