Hello everyone!

I am having a problem that I just can't get my head around! :confused:

My brother's laptop is an Acer Aspire 6930 running Windows 7 Home and I can't get the internal microphone to function correctly.

(Here are the specs for this laptop: http://support.acer.com/acerpanam/notebook/0000/acer/aspire6930/aspire6930sp2.shtml)

In the Control Panel's Sound section the microphone is enabled and the green bars respond when I talk. I am also able to record sound without any problem using Windows Sound Recorder.

However, when I try to use the microphone with online games, the sound comes out of the speakers and no one can hear me at the other end.

I have installed the latest Realtek High Definition Audio drivers, but this has not solved the problem.

I am absolutely baffled by this! I don't understand why it works correctly when using sound recording software, but not during games...?! Any help would be greatly appreciated! :D

Many thanks!
 
several games or just one?
you may need to configure the microphone from within the game
