Ok here it flows:

I tried the pink port, but no succes YET. It does show a little mic symbol though...

Wow they really nerfed the max attachment size!

Yeah thats the one you need for the mic.. Umm.... You shouldn't need drivers..... Under Accessories/Entertainment there is a sound recorder.. Plug your mic into the pink port and then try the sound recorder see if your computer is getting the signal at all

lol. hey, ya gotta ask.

What program is showing this mic icon you speak of?

Ace195 · 09-28-2004, 09:59 AM

On the back of the case null

hehe next to the pink port

Nono, not the program, but the port in my motherboard shows the mic symbol.

I tried the sound recorder, no succes. I don't have another mich to test.

I'm using a pretty crappy headset, but I've never really used it. It's brand new, it should work...

When I try to test my hardware, I get an error, it says: 'Error occured during installation of DirectPlay Voice. Errorcode: 0x8000x4005'

Edit: I started downloading the latest service pack and I'm looking into that DirectPlay Voice.

Your search - 0x8000x4005 - did not match any documents.
No pages were found containing "0x8000x4005".... Hrm....

Umm... I'm gonna say double check that error number one more time for me and try and give me a screenshot of it

Canyarion · 09-28-2004, 10:23 AM

Ok I got the screenshot, I hope you read dutch.

It's code 0x80004005 now, I thought there was an x last time...

Oh yeah, would it work if I installed the latest DirectX, since it got that DirectPlay Voice embedded????

Ace195 · 09-28-2004, 10:27 AM

nope don't read dutch but freetranslation.com does

... it's such an interesting looking language I wouldn't mind learning.... However my girlfriend does speak dutch and german

Null · 09-28-2004, 10:34 AM

ah that icon thing was throwin me off. sounded like he was saying a mic icon poped up when he plugged it in. i was like, wtf, never seen a computer dectect when a mic was plugged in, its a headphone plug. lol.

i'll just let ace help ya with this one

i dont use mics often, and everytime i've seen a problem with em its always been something simple that the person just over looked, like volume settings or motherboard sound was set to surround sounds so the mic port was being used as the back speaker plug or something.

Ms Support..

Yeah I would try updating direct x but if that doesn't work try uninstalling and reinstalling your sound card drivers

Canyarion · 09-28-2004, 10:37 AM

I wanted to say:

Ooooooooh that's so cute.....

BUT IT DOESN'T HELP ME!!!!

But I won't, cause you're helping me and I don't mean it.

Dutch is nice I guess, but also one of the hardest languages to learn...

Anyway, I'm installing the service pack 2. I've already installed the latest DirectX, but I need to reboot but I can't because the service pack is installing.
