Mic won't work with Vista

If you have on board sound ..Hmm
I have Realtec on board and it is totally re-stackable on the fly so to speak.

It's not a card if it is built in.

Your post is confusing.

(Did you get that spec as well rick?)

OK, I believe you brother Rick!
I don't feel I need to google

MY setup has worked flawlessly and I can stack the inputs to the point of having all inputs or outputs.

The C-Media USB headphone device works on MS drivers.

The Purpose of this thread was to resolve a microphone issue, I have found it is required to do the config in the "speech" in the control panel as well. HOWEVER I am using XP NOT Vista with the info provided.

I know both have problems, but from what i gather, vista more than xp.
In xp the fix is a simple... control panel settings directly to realtek with the latest Realtek drivers. Sometimes it's good to remove old drivers before installing new ones to ensure no further conflicts due to old driver remnants, I know I had problems with a video driver because of that, so the extra precaution couldn't hurt if the problem persists after basic tinkering with settings.

I don't use vista though, I have way too many media progies working correctly in xp to invest in new bugs, lol.

On-board sound was what I meant... my old brain still thinks of anything not in the original XT motherboard design as a 'card' :D  

I can second the old driver removal suggestion - I couldn't get things to work at all till I did a full uninstall of the SAPI and SDK windows components, then reinstalled them after loading the latest sound drivers.

I am pretty sure my problem now is related to using a USB headset mic with the onboard sound.  Windows speech component and the Realtek drivers just don't like this. I might try a different headset too (mine is a Logitech).
