Mic stopped working

Mudfrog · 03-20-2009, 02:34 PM

My mic stopped working a few days ago. The only thing different that I can think of is I added a card reader. The crazy thing is when I test the mic in windows it works fine, but when I test it in the Voice section of FF it does not show as working.. any ideas?

Have you tried removing and reinstalling the drivers?

What was the outcome?

Have you tried removing the newest device and drivers, what was the outcome?

Have you tested your mic in other programs?

Have you checked your game's settings to make sure your microphone was not disabled or muted?

I haven't reinstalled anything. It's not a USB headphone so aside from reinstalling the mobo's audio drivers (which I don't think will help), there aren't any drivers to reisntall.

I just tested the mic in the settings of Steam and it worked great. This is really odd. I guess I'll try reinstalling FF

Just reinstalled FF and that didn't fix it.

follow the steps above,

If this has stopped working since you installed a new device, it is very likely that the drivers for that device are interfering with your audio drivers.

Test it and let me know. Thanks.

Sounds like its been disabled in the game somehow.

If the mic works in windows, but not the game,,,

First things I checked..

I ended up getting it working by installing an updated audio driver..

I was being a little smart on that post and have since edited it.
