Microphone problem

[steeve]

Hi. Would appreciate any input on this.
I have two mikes...both work on my laptop (win 2000). One is a cheap condenser mike and the other is a dynamic mike rewired for soundcard.

Problem is, nether of them work on my other computer (Desktop Asus MB with Realtek on board sound). I have checked and re-checked all obvious settings and re-installed the realtek driver. Speakers work fine and the dynamic mike does produce a small signal through the line-in on the sound card.

I'm thinking it's a sound card problem. Any ideas??

Yes, you are using on-board sound, not a sound card... Buy a quality PCI sound card and install it, disabling the on-board sound in the bios first

Thanks for that... that's an easy enough solution. I don't really need quality sound on this computer, but if the on-board sound doesn't work, I guess I don't have a choice.
