I have the same problem. My sound card is just fine with some high
definition speakers but the mike is stone cold dead off the PC jack
notwithstanding the fact that it is default and enabled and showing as
working. However, after recording the mute button in Properties appears
selected when it was set to live beforehand. It seems to keep reverting to
mute. Has that got anything to do with the problem? Any ideas please?
