I'm not affiliated w/ TS or anything, just relaying what I've found out. I've gotta SB Audigy which recently fried (don't ask), & was forced 2 activate/enable (in bios)/use my onboard sound.

I came 2 the forums trying 2 figure the prob out as my prob C'ms 2 B similar 2 yours & left 2 figure it out on my own. My prob was that I COULD hear what all was going through the mic & all, but TS was NOT transmitting or recording it 4 some reason. Tried several things... codecs/quality/force 8-bit/etc.

Here's what my prob actually was, do this:
Go2 CONTROL PANEL
> Go 2 SOUNDS & AUDIO DEVICES
> Click AUDIO Tab
> Verify that the correct Default Devices R chosen (they should B already)
> Click VOLUME under SOUND RECORDING
> Verify that the SELECT checkbox directly under MICROPHONE is checked.

My prob was that WAVE was selected & NOT Microphone. I'm not sure if this is VIA's prob or what. I uninstalled my SB Audigy, then enabled the onboard sound, then installed newest drivers in Win.

P.S.
Here's my PC Specs
AMD Athlon XP 2600+/2.13Ghz 333Mhz FSB (.13)
Asus A7V333-Raid (Rev 1.02 Bios 1018.001)

That didnt fix me up at all. It doesnt qualify as fix.

Wasn't meant 2 "fix" anything (no magic wand, sorry) as nothing is "broken," just 2 make sure you've got Windows setup like it should B. It's either programmer error, system error, or user error. Just trying 2 help those w/ the 3rd problem, U R welcome :p

P.S.
Just got my SB Audigy back 2day, woohoo! :D

Good Luck!
