So I got a problem with my Mic, was really looking forward to talking to you guys.

I've got a Microsoft Lifechat X-3000 headset with built in mic. When i first installed the thing it worked perfectly and I used it to com with my Eve alliance and fend off many attacks on our space. But recently I had a hard drive crash on me. I bought a new hard drive and got an MSDN copy of Widnows 7 to install on it. I've reinstalled the drivers for the headset but for some reason it's not associating input/output with the headset. I've installed vent and several of the stalker/Sins of a Solar Empire games and not of them recognize the headset. I can go into the settings and select it and I can hear the beeps in the headset when I set volume but when I try to use it I just get dead air.


Any ideas?

Did you download the updated driver?

Also, did you set the mic as the default input device in the sound settings in your Control Panel?
