Windows 7 RC, Skype Won't Detect Microphone

[dgroves]

Hi all,

Has anybody experienced a similar problem to this? I installed Windows 7 RC yesturday which won't detect my microphone as being plugged in (even though XP will). It appears to be a problem with windows, not skype.

Any solutions out there?

Thanks,
Dan.

What kind of Microphone? Does it require drivers? Does the sound card have all its drivers installed? Right-click on the volume control icon in the taskbar > click Recording Devices. Do you have a device listed in there?

It is a Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset, no driver required. I have the version that uses standerd 3.5mm jacks.

I cannot tell if I have the latest drivers for my sound card as the disk that can with it will not run on anything above XP and the "Update Driver" option on the card is greyed out.

The microphone is not listed where you specified, and works fine on my Vista laptop - so there should be no problems with it.

Thanks for you help,
Dan.

Well that is the problem right there. Since Windows 7 does not list it, it means it doesn't recognize the hardware. What is the sound card?

Ok Guys, due to the fact the BF1942 doesn't work on Win7, even in compaterbility mode, I am back to XP anyway now.

Shame, I really did like Vista, but however old it is BF1942 is my favroute game for multiplayer so I cannot go with out it.

Thanks for all you help people!
