Question

Lost Microphone

Aug 19, 2011 1:28PM PDT

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.

That is why it was the first thing I tried. Also tried reloading drivers.

Then given only these details you can post the full machine description in the right forum and hope folk offer more ideas or replace the failed devices.
