microphone connection?

[fresly]

Hi all,

Can someone help me out here? I have connected my microphone into the line in and seem to have checked to make sure that the cpu sound was open on line in. I don't get any sound from the mic??? What do I do?

someone anyone???

Thanks! Fresly

A microphone by itself doesn't have enough "oomph" to drive a line-level signal. You need to get a pre-amp or a small mixer with pre-amps in it.

I have been told that a home stereo-type cassette deck works well as a mic preamp... it would get you started anyway.
