MSI K8N Diamond Plus mic issue

[blackpool9]

Just installed the K8N Diamond Plus along with an Athlon x2 4200+ and the BFG 7900GT. Sat down to play D&D Online and discovered that the microphone port on the mobo doesn't seem to be working properly. If I turn the microphone gain all the way up in the control panel, put the mic next to my mouth and talk very loudly, I can get it to register...barely. Otherwise, nothing. I was using this headset with my previous mobo using an Audigy 2 sound card instead of the onboard Audigy of the Diamond Plus, and had no problems. Anyone have any ideas? Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere, a headset issue, or do I have a problem with the headphone jack on the mobo?

Ok, when you say Headset jack on the mobo, you mean where the headset jack from your case plugs INTO the mobo? Yes? Because the mobo doesn't HAVE a "jack" you have to plug the lead wires from your case's mic jack. So I would check to make sure you have it lined up correctly, or if you are unlucky enough to have a case that has individual wires for those connections, then good luck. *grin* I would suggest referencing the case and mobo manual.

No he probably means he has a headset jack on the motherboard

Most have onboard sound now with all of the jacks right on the back panel
Including the one listed in your sig


Try looking for mic boost and see if that helps
also make sure that the plug is in all of the way
