    I have the built in "microphone arrary" set to its highest settings, but they still don't do a good job of picking up speech.

    I tried them with Vista's built in speech recongition and it told me the sound quality was too poor.

    Anybody else having problems with the built in microphone?

    Sound quality is most likely poor because of internal system interference. I noticed this when using teamspeak.
