I bought a Radio Shack microphone with an adapter, and when I plug it into the computer, I get no response. Any suggestions? By the way, I wanted to use it for Karaoke and I did plug it into the mic jack. The mic works on my old computer, but sounds lousey. I'm using Windows XP. Thanks.

Have you checked that the "Line-In" is not set to mute in the advance properties of the volume control? Just a thought.
It may sound obvious, but does the microphone need a battery? I the battery inserted the correct way round?
Question Author
Yep, I've checked the volume controls to the mic and it doesn't need batteries. Any other possibilities????? Thank you for your responses!!!!!
Is the mic in the mic (line-in) connection and not mistakenly in the headphone connection.
Question Author
Nope--it's in the pink mic slot. (I'll have to admit, I tried all the other holes too just in case--being somewhat frustrated).
Have you tried recording with the mic or have you just tried using it as a PA?
Question Author
Yes, I've tried recording with it too. To tell you the truth, my son built the computer (did a nice job, but looks like one that a kid would like--lots of lights, speakers, etc.), but he can't figure it out either--however, he hasn't had much time to spend on it. So, if I don't get a solution, don't feel bad. I guess I'll have to get another mic. Thank you for trying.
