The basic problem I have is that I cannot seem to get my computer to use a microphone. I've tried several old ones and a new one, none work. I can get the onboard sound card to play sound, but not read in a microphone.

So I went and bought an inexpensive sound card at walmart to see if that would work. Long story relatively short, I get no sound and no mic from the sound card. I uninstalled the drivers and such for the onboard sound and disabled it in BIOS, but the add on sound card still will not play anything. And I have installed most all the software that came with the card, including the drivers and playback software ( I'm not letting the AOL demo anywhere near my harddrive).

I have an Asus A8R-MVP Motherboard and the sound card is a SoundBlaster Audigy SE Model: SB0570. And I'm running Windows XP MC

I have no idea whether there is some setting within my system that is causing this or if I just happened to buy the f'd up card on the shelf.
