sound recording prob on A7N8X-X

Hi,

Hope somone here can help me. I've got a new system with this mobo and
though the install seemed to go fine and I have nice sound playback, I
am having trouble recording sound from my pc microphone.

When using Windows Sound Recorder or Nero's Wave Editor, I can record
some sound but it is barely audible.

In Control Panel it says my Preferred Device for sound recording is
NVIDIA(R) nForce (TM) Audio. When clicking on volume control a message
is displayed:
"There is a problem with your sound hardware. You may install mixer
devices from the add/remove Hardware Wizard in Control Panel."

System is:
Win2k Sp4
Athlon 3000xp

Any help would be much appreciated!

quickest way to solve this would be to make sure you have the correct
drivers for the system and unistall the device from device manager - then
restart your system and windows should find the device for you - if you
still have problems after this mail back here.

The Window's Mixer has 3 sections.Playback/Record and other.
Check the faders are high enough for all your purposes.
Mixer/Options/Properties
Note:The mic fader should be,"Muted" in the playback section as this
stops acoustic feedback/karaoke and if not muted can disable the Mic
recording function on most modern sound cards/chips.
