Vista - need help with audio

ahh..i believe i know whats goin on....but before i make myself lookk like a retard...u want to play ur guitar as the speakers hold as a bass and instantly playback what u play right?

on vista ur MIC is automatically muted by default not to playback..because it was a nuisance..who wants to hear what u say through ur speakers? rather than hear the person ur talkn to..

so to straighten this out right click on ur volume control
in control panel>>>in control panel home>>>click hardware and sound>>>>>>sound>>click on the playback tab>>set speakers as default..and hit properties..click on the levels tab



make sure everything is unmuted...
and set everything that was at 0 to 50..for the sake of this..

main thing is ur mic and pink line in, black line in, etc..


hope this helps...sorry for the kind of confusing directions

Under the levels tab I don't have all of those levels, I only have "Realtek HD Audio Output" and "PC Beep".

I assume when Toshiba had you update, they had you update through their site. Try getting the Vista drivers for your Realtek here: Realtek

The top option should be the one you want. Install that (set a Windows Restore point before you do). Restart you computer, and then see if those bars have reappeared.

nice find..fightingscallion...once we get the drivers updated..lets see if we can unmute ur microphone

the driver i have is a bit old...i try the one that u gave me on the website...see what happens...if it doesnt help i might jus roll back the driver

not much of a difference between my new and old drivers..
hopefully there is one for u!
oh yeah u should unmute everything
i kept mine muted because it was a nuisance for me

Can someone talk me through how to update the drivers?
Toshiba had me remove the driver and it re-installed it automatically when I restarted my pc.

Ok, I think that I did it right. But, now I only have "speakers/headphones" under the levels tab. I turned it all of the way up and still nothing.
