A few days ago, my mic port on my SB audigy was working fine but a little soft. I started using my line port on my laptop, but that is giving me troubles at the moment and not very reliable.

Consequently, I've had to start using my mic port on SB audigy and now it won't work. I can hear myself echoing when i have my headset and mic plugged into the SB audigy, so i *think* it is working as far as hardware. Yet, when I am talking to someone with the mic plugged into the SB card, they can't hear me. I don't have a second laptop to test the card on.

I've gone to control panel -->sounds, made the SB card my default voice options. Messed around with the settings in SB and still no luck. Any suggestions?

TIA

Amber - it may be something so simple you just overlooked. I am assuming the SB card works generally (for audio out?)

Your volume might be low or mute. Anyway, there are usually a lot of volume controls for sound cards. Just making sure the master volume is up (or not mute) may not help. The Line In setting is one volume control...and there might be others like Microphone. Are you using PCM for Line In?
