I have a boring microphone, of the silver desktop Logitech USB variety that I've seen several people have. It's pretty good, and I used it in Vista RC2 to test out the voice control stuff to great success.
However, after a long time of using RC2, it just.... stopped working. I am unable to recall when this was or thus what might have caused it. The USB Audio Device Microphone shows up in Recording Devices like it should, and it can be enabled, disabled, whatever you'd expect. However, even when not muted, Vista never gets a single bit of sound out of it; the bars are there, but not even the bottom one lights up.
Every time I unplug it and put it in a different port, Vista adds a number to it. (Like, 2-USB Audio Device, 3-USB Audio device, and so on.) If I put it back in a port I had it in previously, it recalls that ports number. Because it worked the first time, is there any way I can erase this "memory"?
I got Vista retail, and assumed a positive side affect might be that this would be fixed or something. Sure enough, my microphone worked... for about a day. I can't think of what I could have installed that would have done this; I've tried uninstalling my sound drivers to no result, and moving it to a different port causes the same numbering as before.
Any ideas? I'd greatly appreciate it!
