Hi, I have an on-board c-media ac97 card. I cannot get the mike to work, I have re-installed latest drivers, gone into the xear 3D panel and set the relevant settings. Could this be a BIOS issue . The mike works when plugged into another computer. I can hear sound ok via the card. Cheers Dave Title edited -- Please, use [TAGS] in your topic's title.
