| Apex's Squirrel Revolutionary | Recently, my computer has had some major difficulties with the audio and specifically the Microphone. The actual problem it self is that when I unmute the microphone function, not only does the microphone not function properly, but it messes up the audio output. I have also installed the latest drivers from both Gigabyte and Realtek, which I will supply links to. My current motherboard is a Ga-K8N Pro-Sli which means it uses AC 97 The problem started a few days ago, for what appears to be no reason because I did not reinstall any drivers. Motherboard Link Link to Driver Downloads for Motherboard Link to Realtek's latest Driver Download

![]() | If you mean the microphone is picking things up while you are playing music or whatnot, do you have your line-in muted in the control panel? I left mine on and realized it was picking up the noise from my blowhole on my comp while I wasn't using it. |

| Apex's Squirrel Revolutionary | No, it isn't picking up ANYTHING at all even if I unmute it. A consiquence for unmuting it, though, is scrambline my audio output making it all fuzzy and unbearable.

| Apex's Squirrel Revolutionary | The gay part about realtek, they make it very hard to revert to older drivers. I am also having trouble finding my original motherboard CD with all the drivers on it. A link would useful in this situation. The odd part which leaves me to possible doubt this from working was this started happening when I didn't update drivers, but stranger things have happened.

| Apex's Squirrel Revolutionary | Yes I have tried different microphones before. I have also used the realtek panel to rearrange which port is used for what function like making the audio input used for microphone, etc. It left me with the exact same problem. I am starting to think that the only solution is a reinstall.

| Apex's Squirrel Revolutionary | OK I managed to find my original driver CD and reinstalled the drivers that came on that thing. I STILL have the same exact problem. I should probably mention this now, it is not the hardware because it all works on linux but not windows. Add 2: OK I have tried a soundcard and it is giving me the SAME DAMN PROBLEM. It has to be something that windows broke.

Yeah, that would have been nice to know before
I agree, time to backup and start from scratch. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Apex's Squirrel Revolutionary | Well as much as I hate reformatting, it is necessary. I guess this is a chance to streamline processes and programs installed. Thx for the help, threw some bling your way.

| Apex's Squirrel Revolutionary | OK Now I am REALLY confused. I am on a brand spanking new fresh install of windows xp, finished 20 minutes ago and the same problem is happening. This may be much more problematic than I thought.
