Vista = No recording? (A8V-VM Integrated Sound)

[Dalzig]

I'm having an interesting (and frustrating) problem. In Windows XP, everything was working perfectly. I formatted and installed Windows Vista. Now, my sound output is working fine but my sound input is not working. I can not get any program in Vista to record from my microphone. I've verified the mic working on another computer.

My motherboard is an Asus A8V-VM board.

Any ideas?

Edit: Well, that figures. As soon as I post my problem, I manage to fix it myself. Here's what I had to do...


Change SoundMAX to Windows XP Sp2 Compatibility Mode.
Under Microphone Playback, uncheck the option "Front Panel Microphone."


Thanks, anyways. :wave:

First of all find the latest version of the audio driver which is compatible to vista, as most of the drivers that are shipped with sound-card or motherboard cd contain drivers which have support for only until windows Xp.

So it is strongly recommended to download the latest audio driver from the internet for your sound-card or on board audio chip set. Install the vista compatible audio driver for your sound-card or motherboard audio. After this re-start your computer.
