Use it fast before any one tries other repairs.
I have 32 bit XP and lost the microphone controls. VIA '97 Controller(WDM) and/ or MPU-401 Compatable MIDI Device seem to be the problem though "trouble shooting" says every thing is working properly. I can't get to the advanced controls. Thanks in advance.
