I had my mic working fine in the Battlefield 2 demo until I turned on my PC last night...it didn't work. I quit the game and it didn't work in Windows either. I tried Sound Recorder and Audacity and the BF2 mic setup, none worked. I checked nvMixer and my volume properties, the mic was not muted. I've tried two different microphones so it's not the mic.
The only *vaguely* relevant things I have done since it last worked are install new Omega Drivers for my vid card (2.6.25 to 2.6.25a), which shouldn't have anything to do with it, and plug a pair of new headphones (the new Turtle Beach ones; don't buy them, they're uncomfortable, I'm returning them) into my onboard sound - can't imagine how that could affect it. I've tried the line in as well as the mic port...and the ports themselves aren't dead because I've just set up quadrophonic surround sound with my 2.1 speakers and another old pair of 2.1 speakers that were in the corne of my room, and the rear ones use the line in jack.
Ignore the sound card in my sig, I have gone back to my onboard AC'97 sound. If anyone can crack this nut I'd be very appreciative.
Oh, the BF2 mic setup says "Unable to open key" when I start it. Is that a registry key?
Edit: A couple other things of interest. First, in nvMixer, I now have a 'Microphone2' as well as 'Microphone'. Neither works. Second, and this never used to happen before, my front speakers emit a small amount of white noise when nothing is playing...however, when I go to record something in Audacity, the white noise stops. Weird.
