I bought a simple microphone headset today and it isn't working. What might be the problem? read details:?

I'm running Windows Vista on a Dell Inspiron 1501



The mic is a Cyber Acoustics HS-700 earclip headset.



It's cheap, but it worked on another computer.



it uses a 3.5 mm plug for the mic, and a separate 3.5 mm plug for the ear piece, both next to stereo contacts (3 contacts)



Everything is plugged in, and window recognizes the hardware. I made sure it wasn't muted, and checked the sensitivity.



All i carry is absolute silence. Any accepted wisdom?

Are you asking about the mic, the earphones, or both?

Mic problems usually end up individual something simple. Check both the input and output levels for the mic and variety sure your sound card's mike jack if truth be told works with another mic.

I can't find that model number, but the mic have a stereo plug suggests it's a noise canceling mic, if your soundcard merely has a mono mic jack you will hold to use the stereo line within.
Check to see it is plugged in correctly.

Pink = microphone

Green = earpiece



other than that do the setup within control panel and see if it will detect the microphone and you hear sound.
Some microphones hold a MUTE switch. Make sure it's off.



Open the Volume Control (double-click the speaker god in the lower right of the obligation bar). Make sure the MUTE box isn't checked.
