i have two different mics that connect via mini stereo jack. i have two laptops one win 7 the other vista. For both laptops, i can record my voice without connecting the mic. I use windows sound recorder for initial testing. When i plug either mic into either laptop, the mics record no sound. It seems ass backwards to me. I can record without the mics plugged in, but cannot with them plugged in. Both mics have switches for off and on. I make sure both are switched on. i have two options shown in control panel sound for microphone. one is microphone - soundmax integrated audio. this one records when the jack is unplugged. but no sound when it is plugged. the other is line in - soundmax integrated audio. this one doesn't record anything and i tried disabling. i tried switching default device and default communication device to all the different devices. im not sure what to do next
