The other day, I was trying to set up my microphone to use with Skype on my laptop and after a few days meddling with it and the other party still could not hear me, and my Sound Recorder could not pick up my voice either, I thought, I can't be this dumb, right? After all, I set up the microphone with Skype, MSN and Yahoo! Messenger on the computer, though that one runs on Windows XP.
So, after more frustrations and fiddling, I decided to switch my headset from the computer over to the laptop... and guess what? My settings work perfectly and the culprit was the microphone itself! Arghhh wasted so much of my time, you know?
The strange thing was that this headset was new but I bought it almost a year or so ago during a PC Fair last year and I tested the earphones when I came home but did not test the microphone. I kept it in my drawer after that because the existing one that I thought was rosak was still working. The jack came off halfway, somehow. No wonder no sound la, that's why I thought that it was rosak. Heh
I think I really am dumb to always not check the simplest solutions first!
