microphone on laptop in WinXP doesn't work (Acer Aspire 5102)
Hello!

I've got laptop Acer Aspire 5102 and microphone built-in the laptop. I run (I'm not sure how it should be in English Windows version because I've got other language) Accessories -> Entertainment -> Sound register. I press red circle and touch microphone by my finger. I definitely hear the sound of this touching repeated in speakers of my laptop, however it is not recorded. I stop recording, move to the beginning, play start and I cannot hear anything.

What should I do to be able to use my microphone properly in Windows XP on my laptop?

Thanks for help in advance :-)!
Greetings :-)!

You're doing all the right things but instead of just tapping the mic, I suggest you try sitting beside a radio or othe rmusical output and then repeat the experiment. If you still don't hear anything afterwards, post back as to whether or not the system invites you to save the file when you close the utility. I just tried this on my old Toshiba with built-in mic and it worked for me.
