    Hey guys,

    This may sound silly, but i can't get this to work. I'm using Vista Premium and a Vostro 1400.

    I downloaded some Karaoke videos and I'm trying to enable my microphone on my headset so I could hear my voice through the speakers. But i haven't been succesful.

    I can record my voice fine.

    Please help. What am I missing?

    Wouldn't you get a bad echo effect?

    Right click on the speaker on lower right hand corner. Click playback devices. Click on one of output devices (not all of the output devices will have the option though.) Now click properties. Then click levels. Under microphone unmute the microphone.

    Is this a USB headset?
