Sounds like a defective mic. Test it on another computer, with another USB cable, and if it still doesn't work, call customer service and they'll send a replacement.
try pluging it in a radio casset recorder or something els to test the mic itself, verify the microphone settings in Windows (volume, input type, etc...)
Ensure that you have selected the Microphone or the Line-in as your recording input. It sounds like you have set STEREO MIX as the recording input. Double click your speaker, select from the drop down "Properties" then Adjust volume for (RECORDING) select that and ensure that your appropriate recording device is selected. (XP)
I found the answer. Rosetta Stone has a problem detecting the mics if
the speaker input is not in someway connected to the mic. I'm not
exactly sure how it works, but I don't care and neither should you.
Follow these steps each time you want to use it and you should be fine. *I'm on Vista, but this should work for every one. 1. Open Control Panel 2. Open Hardware and Sound 3.Open Sound 4.Set Line 1 as your Default Speaker 5. Refresh the Mic list *All of your mics should now show up. 6. In Rosetta Stone, apply the mic you want and finish the setup. 7.Start whatever language you're using and switch back to the Sound menu. 8.Set whatever speaker you want to use as default. *Rosetta Stone will continue to work fine until you close it, switch Users, or remove the mic.
In
short you have to set the default speaker to LINE 1 to get the mics to
appear. Then when you apply the settings switch the default speaker
back.
For Vista 32 bit. Go to the driver manager. De-instal/delete the driver in the Sound, Video and Game section. In my case it was RealTek High Def Audio ver 6.0.1.5371. (Select Delete the driver files.) Reboot. Vista will reinstall a driver. In my case it was Microsoft High Def audio ver 6.0.6000.16386. I had the mic plugged in when I rebooted to load the new driver. The Cyber Acoustics ML-1060 now works fine. Hope this helps.
I'm not 100% sure it's the microphone in your case, since I am experiencing the same problem right now with another microphone. I borrowed a working headset from my friend and it is not working either. My volume is up like yours and I can barely hear myself. I am updating the drivers soon and I'll let you know if that fixes it.
