Same problem as so many others. Acer Aspire internal and external mic won't work. I've done everything and maxed out the volume. I used Sound Record - got no sound. I used Goldwave - got a buzzing sound. I've used troubleshoot, but it says everything is working fine. I tested hardware and the mic never picked up my voice. Help please!!
You need to check the record settings and make sure the mic is not muted or turned down to low. Click START, CONTROL PANEL, then SOUND icon. Click the AUDIO tab up top. Make sure that your sound card is selected in the drop down menu under Sound Recording. Now click VOLUME tab. A new window will open up. Click OPTIONS then PROPERTIES. Make sure you have a check by the MIC and click OK. In the Recording Control window, turn the level up for Microphone and make sure it is not muted. Let me know what happens.

The only thing that picks it up is Goldwave, but even then, it is a VERY low popping/buzzing sound that I can only hear if I blast the volume. Sound recorder picks up nothing at all. Whenever I webcam chat on MSN, no one else can hear me either, but for some reason..I hear my own voice echoing, but it sounds distorted and there's some quiet popping sounds along with it. I hear this is a common problem with acer.....
