About a year and a bit ago I had a issues with Vista and my Microphones. I do a lot of stuff with the Microphone and my computer, and this was a huge issue! Why on earth could I not get the microphone to work In Vista! Within Vista, there was no way to get the microphone audio to play through the speakers. It always seemed muted. How could I un-mute the microphone?
Luckily within a few days of posting the Vista Microphone issue, hundreds of people started posting their solutions to the problem. The main issue was that the Microphone Line Monitor in the sound control panel was nowhere to be seen. Therefore, by default as Vista mutes the line, there was no way to turn it on.
If your soundcard uses the Sigmatel Audio Codec, you are in huge luck as there is a simple way to enable the Microphone on vista with a simple registry hack.
Simply go to your start menu and type in regedit and hit enter to get into the Vista Windows Registry
Next you are going to want to find the following folder:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000\Settings\filter\SpeakerHp\
Then you're going to find the key: EnableIntSpkrMute
Change this key from 01, to 00.
Reboot Vista, and you are ready to go! Next time you go into your sound control panel, you will have the ability to un-mute, and change your microphone levels in Vista!
Hope this helps everyone out there with what I have found to be the most annoying issue in Vista out there. Who knows what made them decided to lock out the Microphone from 90% of the people out there, but at least now you can resolve the issue pretty easily!
Of course if you don't want to go into the registry to fix your Vista Microphone issue, simply download this Reg file, and run it on your machine, then reboot. Simple. Enjoy your microphone!










If you thought all the gaming action this holiday season was on the XBox 360 or the Nintendo Wii, you might have missed that one of the hottest games was Guitar Hero II on the Sony Playstation 2 console. Despite the fact that Sony shipped its new and long awaited PlayStation 3 in November, the six year old PlayStation 2 remains a cash cow and is currently the best-selling game console on the market.

This occurs in any application(Word, IE, desktop) except the ones I want the mic to work in(Battlefield 2142, Sound Recorder, etc). In these instances the mic has no activity shown on the line indicator.
If the mic is muted or the sensitivity it is reflected in how well I hear myself in these applications. However again mic input is not recorded in the applications that is needed, ie to chat in game.

Miguel, thank you most kindly for the advice on getting the microphone working on my headset - my OS is Vista,and your solution worked perfectly. I am very grateful because there were so many solutions out there, it would have taken hours to work through.
In gratitude! Angela

I have my desktop with Vista and cannot use the dialer.exe. My computer has only one modem input so I connected the phone line there (I also have cable modem) and with my headphones and mike I try to make a call but after it dials it just stops and you don't hear anything else. I need this for my business. What can I do? Do I have to get new software?

I found a quick fix for musicians wanting to record music and hear it played back in real time who don't feel like reverting back to XP or upgrading to windows 7.
