I need some help with my microphone... For some reason, the headset's mic doesn't pick up sound, but instead, the inside of the headphones do D:

And, it's pretty low in sound...

I'm running Windows XP Home Edition SP2...

I would like to know if anyone could help me

Click on start, programs, then go the same menu that has Paint in it. Click on "Entertainment" and select Volume Control. Click "options" and go to "settings" and go to "record" make sure the tag at Microphone is selected. It should work then.

I'm sorry but i can tell you for a fact that the speakers on your headphones DO NOT pick up sound.  It is acoustically impossible

It still doesn't work... It only takes input from the headphones, not the mic :/

I'm sure it's taking input from my headphones... I have to put my mouth up to the earpiece, and I record it with Sound Recorder, and it seems it only picks it up from when I talk into the ear phone

Then your mic's busted.. it's very sensitive equipment, you know. I recommend you get a Shure Microphone. They're a lot better and last way longer. Plus they're pretty cheap at 50 bucks.

Im sorry you are totally incorrect! Speakers can pick up sound, not well, but they can. Get some headphones plug them into the microphone jack and shout into the speaker. It will pick up the sound

I have tested this myself as down my nans i forgot my mic once.
