Okay I got this new great sound card but in the audio playback there's no mic option. I can't use the mic, but it turns crappy 2watt monitor speakers into the most detail crisp sounding emitters ever playing around with the included software.. Need help on the mic.

does it not have inputs for the mic plug on z case? =O

no you know in the audio volume properties area, there's no mic option in the playback white box.

thats because mic is recording and not playback

ooo u want to be able to hear ur voice on z mic? heh...cant help u there den

R-click the speaker icon on the bottom R-hand side of the Taskbar>Open Volume Control>Options>Properties> and make sure there's a tick in the 'Mic Volume' box.

I don't have the mic option altogether. Thanks anyways.

Search the name of your sound card with 'microphone' in Google and see if someone else had the problem and fixed it.
There's a little about mic probs here. Don't know if it's relevant.

It's a known problem. Even some NewEgg reviewers say creative knows about the no input issue... I hate this card and now know it's a fake X-Fi where the only software makes it X-Fi not like the FAtality and other real X-Fi cards...
