There's nothing in the BIOS that'll partially disable the sound. Does the MIC work if you unplug the speakers?

Also where are you testing the MIC input? Try using Sound Recording from Accessories. ANd in the Control Panel make sure the VIA sound card is the default recording device under Sound and Audio Devices properties. Then click on Volume in the sound recording section, make sure MIC is selected and the volume for it is up. Maybe the VIA deck isn't showing the right settings.

Did you update to the latest Via chipset drivers as well?

Seems this thread is a bit out of date but just to let you know that this problem hasn't been dissolved in the last year.

I have the same problem with this VD. It probably is a disease

I got it for free as a relation "present" with my VIA AC97 update .This was a marvellous update. The whole sound card was reorganised. So no sound or whatsoever.

I downloaded it with "Driver Genius" not a freebie but with a free mind for sure. Happily the makers of this program advise you, and the program does it properly, to make an update of your drivers.

I reinstalled the old backed up AC97 driver and my system worked fine again. Only thing is that this VD bugger is still there and is planning to stay for ever unless some genius comes with a final solution.

I also mailed VIA about this VD and they came up with the brilliant idea to check their forum.....

These Koreans must have gone nuts.....and Microsoft probably not by advising not to install this unsigned update.

So. KingPin do you still have your old driver on CD? Reinstall it and I think your problem will be over. Except for the VD disease.
