Any ideas why my laptop won't recognize this device? I have windows 7, laptop previously had no microphone. Plugged in the audio input jack, nothing.

Window 7: Control Panel: Hardware and Sound: Sound: Select the Recording Tab:See if the microphone is recognized. I set mine as default. Then selected Configure. If not recognized. Then may be a driver problem. Also might want to try a different microphone in microphone jack.

either theres a problem with the jack or you have to change some settings around as soon as u plug it in on my computer a window pops up and my computer has a list of options to.choose from because it didnt recognize it and when i chose mic it worked

These are garbage, i had the same problem with both. You can try adjusting your mic settings in the control panel but that didn't help me.

I also have windows 7 and there was no issue. I plugged the microphone into the jack and that was it. Possible problem with your jack?

Can confirm that it works, using it this way right now. I hadn't been using the monitor jack just assuming that it'd mean I couldn't hear system audio without going through external speakers and I didn't want that. I actually came looking for windscreen options (besides the old sock missing it's other half I've got now) and came across this question/answer so I opened up the playback device properties and set the USB microphone speakers as default. Works like a charm.

Pretty simple! Whatever it is you're using, you have to go into the sound settings and set it as the default sound output device. So for PC, go to the Control Panel, Sound, and pick it under the playback tab. Same goes for it not working with any other application like Skype. But changing it in the control panel should fix for most, if not all!Should be listed as "USB audio device" .

I had problems with my mic on Windows 7. Works fine on Windows 8. There could be a ton of reasons though. You need it set as default in your sound setting and typically selected in the program you are using too. Also, if the mic boom is straight up, it turns the mic off.

Returned mine but if recall correctly mic is built-in. Should install with camera driver installation and find it it in audio devices.

I am assuming you bought used because the one I bought With drivers disk and the Cubasele disk and loaded on windows 7 without a hitch. Load the drivers first then install the software from Steinberg and choose your audio hardware from the preferences.

Mines did the samething you would have to bare it, but the mic is still good. Maybe the mic is not fully compatable with the computer.

The laptop sees it as one device: headphones. Your laptop won't recognize that it has a mic. The mic is for use on cell phones.

I can't get mine to work. I don't think this model has a microphone. I called ASUS and they didn't know????

Hola, Michael Phelps!The device works great for me in both, my Lenovo and HP computers. They both have Windows 7. Not to be obvious, but I have my sound on mute because I do not like all the beeps I get when I receive a new e-mail or I have an Outlook reminder, so I have to remember to unmute it when I use the laptops to connect to the TV. That's the only thing...I hope this helps and good luck!

I had a similar issues but without further details it is hard to say if you aren't getting your mic to register sound or the headphone jack to playback the sound. I had to set my rode pod caster to the default device but this is on a windows platform. If mac has a similar function i would give that a try.

I have this mic and would like to try that on my laptop. since it only has one plug (not two) - where exactly should I plug it in? I don't want to wreck it...What applications do you use it for? I really would like to see if it will work with dragon naturally speaking version 11.5

Hi Deborah, I have been successful with my hookup and audio. At this point I would make sure your laptop supports a direct HDMI connection and that you have changed your audio output in the control panel under whatever O.S. you have. Hope this helps. Also, in some situations, the audio is going to default to the laptop if the connection is a HDMI Input. You want a HDMI Output on the laptop.

It didn't work with mine. It's not a very good product. Plus it's old. I'm sure a new better microphone product has been released since.

I have the same problem, I verified the mic works, and put it in again, and reset the plate. I guess this is why my unit was "refurbished"

I am having the same problem but suspect it involves the driver or settings and am checking that out first. I would not return it if that is your only problem. Wait til a few more join in the discussion or I find something more about where the problem is. I loaded Skype and it works right up to the point of detecting my voice.

This won't work in my experience. It gets recognized but no matter what 3.5" microphone you plug into it, it won't recognize the audio for chat... have anyone really test it? I did and that was my experience
