I am having a problem with the microphone on my monitor. It isn't working and I do not know what to do. I have tested it many times. The speakers work fine. I am wondering if having broadband(DSL) has anything to do with this. I have another computer that is the same make, HP, but the voice program is different. That one is on a dial up set up. This ones program is called "direct play voice setup", file verson 5.1.2600.1106(xpsp1.020828-1920), file name is "dvpsetup.exe". Is anyone out there familiar with any of this and if so will you please help me to get my mic to work. I need to add that when I attempt to check the mic through the test I get an error messsage"windows cannot execute dpv setup.exe, use add/remove programs control panel to install", when I do this I am asked for the windows xp disc. which I do not haave and do not know how to obtain.

Im not quite sure what u mean? The mic isnt working or u cant use it over the net?!

In the end I ended up taking my sound card out, uninstalling ALL the drivers for it, installed the latest DirectX and then I reinstalled the soundcard putting on the latest drivers...... then it worked!

Other than that I don't know......

Thank U tomcat for your help, I'll give these things a try when I'm feeling brave

if its just not recording, did you check microphone is selected in the recording window? because it could be selected on something else. that coujld be a rason of not recording.

Hi

How to fix an internal/headphone microphone for use of eg. Skype (asking for dpv.setup.exe)

No need to load this exe, you can fix it in a much easier way.

I had this problem. My microphone was set by the program on MUTE!

To fix it :First check if your internal microphone works:

1. Rightklick Start- Programs- Accessories-Entertainment-Sound recorder.

2. Klick red(round) button on Sound recorder and talk. Play it back by klicking the arrow in the window. Does it work? Good. If not, there is a problem I cannot help you with.

3. Redo the same with a headset (earplugs and microphone). It should still work.

Now you know it will work on Skype etc.

Then the fix:

1. Star your computer in safe mode (press f8 when you start it up when the first "blue" page comes up). Go to Start-Settings-Control Panel-Sound and Audio Devices-Voice. See what your computer uses as a microphone(note the name of the device). Check that it is'nt muted. Then go back one step to Audio Devices-Hardware and check the same thing. There should be a tab there saying Microphone mute. I removed the tick and it worked like magic.

Next time start the computer in normal mode.

Good luck
