    I have a Clevo M560A / Sager 5320.... this notebook has an integrated microphone located int he bottom right corner of the keyboard part of the chassis. How do I configure Windows and Day of Defeat / Counterstrike to recognize this microphone so I can use it to talk to players in game?

    The microphone shouldbe recognized from the start. In CS:S, go into the options and you can test the mic. I personally bought an inexpensive ($15) external desktop microphone, because the 5320's mic reception isn't the greatest. I have to speak right at it for it to pick up anything, which is inconvienent for gaming.

    It isn't recognized though, I test the mic in options and it doesn't pick up any sound. What am I doing wrong? Do I have to turn the mic on record in windows before I play?
