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

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.

Nope, didn't work. I have the same problem.

New DirectX didn't work.

Edit: wow I typed that while webcamming with my girl, I had no idea that I was repeating myself.

Anyway, I REALLY don't know what to do. When you google 0x80004200, you get a lot of problems, but no solutions.

Ace195 · 09-28-2004, 12:16 PM

Hrm.. did you try uninstalling the drivers for the sound card and reinstalling the drivers ?

Canyarion · 09-28-2004, 12:28 PM

No, I'll try that.

Do I really have to UNinstall and install? Or could I just REinstall right away???

Ace195 · 09-28-2004, 01:29 PM

Uninstall and then reinstall.. (sorry bout the delay had to take my lunch).... Because you want a CLEAN install never DIRTY install unless you absolutley have to..

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
