Cant Get Microphone to work

[tomtflys]

Hey guys Im new here, i just built my first rig. Everything went well except i cant get my mic to work. I have a xfi extreme gamer pro card. I have the mic plugged into the line in spot on the card. I tried to use the mic in a game (BF2) and in the windows sound recorded to just test it out and nothing happens. I know the mic works i just tried it in another comp. ANy ideas or help would be great. Thanks alot
Tom

It goes in the Mic spot, not line in. Should be a pink plug.

Make sure that your microphone isn't muted and the volume is up.

gotta go in mic in because the line in does not give the mic voltage, the mic in does.

thanks for the help guys but i dont have a card like that it only has 4 ports line 1,2,3 then a spot for a mic/digital i/o. i have the mic wire in the mic spot and no sound?
