hi, i have disabled the microphone (input) on my laptop - but not just disabled - i think i removed the hardware - in sound settings (control panel) and recoring - where - there should be two options - line in and mic, but i changed option and the mic has disappeared - and it is showing as not working properly in device manager. also cant run speed recognition etc as the mic is disabled - tried system restoring but nothing happened and have no drivers with my machine..

Goto device manager and right click and try to UPDATE DRIVER SOFTWARE using the internet

done it and the driver is up to date, but it still does not work... also now it has dissapeared form the list.. in control panel/sound/recording all i did was change device usage - to do not use... and thats what happened..damn

fwor

If it is now shown as working properly in Device Manager, have you tried opening Volume Control, Properties, Recording and ensuring that the microphone box is ticked. If not it won't appear in the volume control window.
