Im trying to get an audio chat working with a friend of mine in Windows Live messenger, but none of my mic's work. I have 2, and neither one works at all. When I try to set them up in the "audio recognition" in the control panel, the wizard wont start, and it says to make sure my audio hardware is working properly, but everything seems to be in working order.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

if you right click your audio icon in the taskbar, and select recording devices, this window will show up.

make sure your microphone is selected as a default device and the microphone itself is plugged into the "red" jack on your computer
