Problem with microphone

Katykat

I've downloaded Karafun karaoke and it seems to be working fine. I've connected my microphone into the (pink) microphone socket on the side of my laptop, but its not working. I've been into the audio settings for my PC and it says it is working. There is a little test bar in the "details" and when I talk, the bar moves up and down, but its still not picking my voice up. I've altered the volume both in the settings for the microphone and on the PC, but still no luck. Can anyone advise?

Double click the sound icon in icon tray and unmute the microphone box, and you should hear your voice through the speakers.

Thanks, but its not muted.

You might need to go into Sound Setup in control panel and set the pink socket to be microphone.

To be honest I have never got a microphone to work well into an analogue input socket, there are just too many variables and would suggest you get a USB Microphone.
