Ok, this is pissing me off.

I have a HP Pavillion DV9000 laptop. My webcam works just fine, the mic just doesn't work. At all.

The laptop was purchased with Vista in place as the OS, but was quickly (manually) converted to XP, because I value my sanity. In the process, it appears that the mic doesn't have any drivers, or something?

I searched for XP drivers, but didn't have much luck, or more to the point, I'm not 100% sure on what I'm looking for. I AM pretty sure, though, that a few folks in the COR could help me realise my failure, and in doing so, could make my mic work!

Help Sushi out?

You need to be a bit more specific - there are this many variations in the 9000 series.

Yeah, you're right, sorry about that

Ok:

HP Pavillion DV9550T

Sound stuff seems to be controlled by Realtek, which I'm assuming is just on board shit. None of the Realtek stuff controls the mic though.

lol you are a fucking tool. That won't solve the problem. Mac OS has even less drivers for hardware than windows!

go to Options>Properties>Click the Recording Button, make sure Microphone is checked>Click OK
If it already is unmuted, volume up, or selected, i dunno.

Fuck, you should have seen the nightmare we had just installing XP on this machine, after getting rid of Vista Wow.

But, I think I have it working now. The driver didn't seem to install properly last night, which I'm going to assume has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I was drinking at the time :/

So now I can record my voice in the crappy windows recorder thing, and it plays back, so it HAS to be working, right?

Have you tried turning it off and on again?
