If you're using a USB mic, tough luck you won't be able to do it with vista, maybe with a thirth party program.

If you're using a mic that is connected to your sound card,
go to the same as you are in your screen above

playback -> Speaker / Headphone (or which ever device is enabled) -> advanced -> Levels -> and simply flop your sound card entry to the highest possible (if it's to loud you make it less hard, but that's quite easy to understand)

I'm using a dutch version of Vista so i might get some words wrong.

Hello Mitch, and welcome to Vista Forums.

In addition to the above, double click on Microphone in your image above to open it's properties page. See if you may have the option below. If you do, then check the box below in red. It should then playback through your speakers.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

I'm having this exact same problem. No option for Listen listed under my microphone's properties. Please, someone help, I would really like to be able to listen to myself through my laptop speakers (Toshiba L305-S5894, Realtek HD Audio)

Hello Bidi, and welcome to Vista Forums.

You might see if having this enabled may be able to help.

Hi Brink,

I tried it that way, but still no sound. It appears that microphone playback is intentionally disabled by Realtek, per Toshiba's instructions, but apparently only on laptops running Vista x32 with HD Audio. I just don't see why they would do that; I've never seen the mic playback disabled on any other soundcard, computer, or Windows OS. It's weird. I've appealed to Toshiba and Realtek, but if the posts I've read on other forums across the net are any indication, Toshiba and Realtek do not see this as a problem, and will not provide a solution.

Thank you for your suggestion. I appreciate your input.

You're welcome. I'm not sure how they see it as not a problem when it's what a customer wants??
