    Thank you so so much. I had the most stressful day talking to tech support because the headset for my son's spanish program would not work, the headphone part worked but the mic was not working and after wasting over hours it was unresolved, but a new headset (which I needed to anyway cause the padding on my old one was falling off) and that wasn't working either, thought my PC had an issue. Thank-you, now my son can start learning his spanish lessons this school year. So happy!

    Thanks so much! I didn't know how to do school without my mic! The step that helped me was between 1:30 and 2:45. Instead of raising my volume, I saw the speaker option next to the volume increase/decrease had a megaphone with a red circle with a line through it. I clicked it, and it turned into a megaphone with blue sound waves coming from it. Thanks again!

    Thank you, no pizzazz, just instructions. Had to go all the way to last fix, that's the one I needed.

    Thank you! For some reason my volume on properties was down at 5, which is why it was barely audible. Ghosts in the system. Thanks again!
