Question: i have plugged in my microphone to the back of my computer, but it won't play any sound.? the mic definately works, as it has been used in things other than the computer. has anyone got any suggestions why it isn't working?

Answer: You have to open an application that uses it first such as your recorder in accesories or a messenger. You may also need to setup the audio properties in the app you are using.
