    Curious if any of you other gateway people have this problem or have fixed it.

    Try going to your control panel, to the IDT Audio Control Panel, and the third button for me, it looks like a pen but it's a jack, called jack setup... on the right there are those holes like you have on the side of your computer, the input/outputs. Make sure the second is set to Mic when you have your mic plugged in.

    I think my mic didn't work for a while because of that. If that doesn't work though and you can't figure it out, you know your webcam at the top of your screen has a mic as well, right?

    I have the same problem. Only way I can get it to work is open CSS, close it, go to control panel disable/enable microphone array then reopen CSS and it works... pain in the a$$.
