First, confirm that the microphone is not muted in the “Sound” settings located in your computer’s control panel. If not, reconnect the mic. Your computer should ask if the device you just plugged in is a line level or microphone level device. Choose MICROPHONE level. Next, open Sound Recorder and try to make a test recording: Start button -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Entertainment -> Sound Recorder. Click the red record button, and speak into the mic. The green line should start to move as you speak. If not, connect your mic to a different port on your PC and try to make a recording again. Repeat these steps until the green line moves when you make a recording. The NC-121VM is not capable of converting a stereo or multichannel signal into mono. Mono, monophonic, or monaural, describes a recording where all the audio signals (typically a left and right signal) are mixed together and routed through a single audio channel. In the case of the NC-121VM, this must be done before the signal arrives at the headset’s single earphone, otherwise you will hear only the left channel side of the audio. Windows XP has the ability to convert a stereo playback signal to mono, but this feature was dropped in later versions of Windows. Yes. Yes. Yes.
