    I had the same problem that you're having xmatty89. Now I'm using XP pro, I never have, and never will use vista, but this is what I did. Hopefully it will work for you too...

    I went control pannel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Audio
    From that page there is a small drop down menu that says "sound recoring". I selected "realtek HD audio input" as the default device and everything works just fine now.

    That did it for me, I hope it works for you too man, good luck! :)

    What I do when this happens is uninstall and reinstall the audio drivers...sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn`t.
