In the "Audio and Video Setup" wizard, step 2 "Microphone Setup", the
microphone dropdown list only shows "None".

However, I do see it in Sound control panel (mmsys.cpl) and it is marked as
"Working". Plus, I can successfully record a sound clip in "Sound Recorder"
and plays it back, so I know for sure the microphone exists and works fine.
It is just not recognized by Live Messenger.

My OS is Windows Vista Ultimate. The microphone is from a headset.

Any ideas? This is driving me crazy.
