Has anyone got the microphone to work properly? Mine, it is installed on Windows but I cannot get any input and the speaker on it makes a weird noise when trying to use it.

I can only get the speaker to work on some occasions. I wouldn't recommend using it, every time I have gotten it to work the quality is incredibly low. It seems to be meant to be used strictly for a skype handset. I would recommend a Bluetooth headset for voice chat. I really like the samsung HM1700.

It works when it wants to even when setup properly. Running Win 8.1 you have to manually select the audio configuration of each device, and set this one as the default for audio input and output when you want to use it. However, it still doesn't always work or doesn't switch back to my amp when I want to use my surround sound afterwards.

Try turning on the "PAD" button that is just above the microphone input for whatever channel your putting your wireless mic in.I've had a similar issue with the wireless system that we use with this sound system and the "PAD" button has worked for us. Be warned, you will have to increase the volume but it helps filter much of the feedback issues.

I had no problem, you might want to check that the connector is set correct. You might want to play with the settings off your mic also. I will also do a couple of test settings and if I can duplicate the issue I will let you know.

I found another thread about this issue here: http://www.fixya.com/support/t902322-microphone_acer_aspire_one_isnt_working I emailed Acer tech support and received the most useless, infuriating response ever. Basically the answer was how to see the device listed in the control panel. well, thanks but how about a suggestion on how to FIX it??? I may call them if I can muster up the patience. In the meantime, maybe the folks over at fixya will find a solution.

Not sure if that's a question or statement... Anyway, two things I've noticed using this device for a long time now. You must use the USB cable that came with it (or one IDENTICAL to it). I've used cables that fit and get terrible results. Second, check that your microphone cable and microphone are in working order. Hope this helps.

I would try to find the problem first. Do you need to replace the mixer? or is it the mic? or is a speaker blown? Find the problem before spending money on a solution.

I haven't. I had to return it to Amazon as I could not get either the camera or the microphone to work. I have replaced it with another camera/microphone which works perfectly. I do not know if it was a defect in that particular unit or an incompatibility with my system software or hardware. My business is Data Processing consulting and I know a lot about the hardware and software on my PC and could not get it to work at all, so after many different trials, I gave up and purchased a similar but different unit and it worked the first time. No trouble at all.

I would say that if it does not work it could be a problem with the mic or the audio system tha is connected to. The mic has a some options or buttons that you might need to play with but those are just to choose what type of mic will be used. Sorry i DON'T have more, it should work just fine, the power is given by the audio system amp. Do you have an amp?

Good luck with that, this mic quality is horrible. I've tried everything they suggested and still ended with the same result. Bad mic quality.

I can't get mine to work. I don't think this model has a microphone. I called ASUS and they didn't know????

That's pretty strange, M.J.I just uninstalled Italk and then reinstalled it - no problems.Is it possible to keep going somehow after the "this app requires a microphone" message.After all, you will have a microphone when you plug it in!

Hello,If your computer has "MICROPHONE INPUT" and recording software MAYBE okay to use. However just want to remind you that the sound produce maybe very low and sometimes unable to hear. Hope this helpThank you

Same problem - minimal recording volume. I tried using it with Skype and Duolingo with no luck. Went to Logitech to see if there were drivers for my OS (Windows 8.1) but there are none. It's going back.

Plug in some headphones into the audio jack on the side of the mic. If you can hear yourself (adjust the volume knob), the mic is working and you need to check settings as others describe. If you can't hear yourself, it's a dud. I use a lot of these mics with clients and have had one get damaged. Rode repaired it right away.

I had the same result. I resorted to using the boom mic that was shipped with it. I don't know who's problem it is but I would assume it's Microsoft's since I have other issues that require constant rebooting.
