Never did like onboard sound, never seems to work right (plus it just sucks, lol).

I don't wanna repeat any suggestions, but you never replied to Null when he suggested that the mic is on mute in volume properties.

Have you ever tried to use a mic before on the comp? The mic port could be bad.

probably: a) missing something stupid
b) drivers f'ed up
c) bad port
