Can't get my microphones to work with SB Live 24 B

Just got a new Dell PC, and selected the SoundBlaster Li've! 24 bit sound card. Have tried 4 different microphones, and can barely get anything on the windows Sound Recorder. I mean, I almost have to yell. I have tried powered mics, new batteries, and they all record at the same very low level. I think I have exhausted all options in the software settings, so it seems to be a matter of equipment compatablility. Does anyone have any suggestions on what type mics would work better?
thanks, Mike

Hello. I just purchased an MSI Diamond P4 SLI motherboard, that has the SB Li've 24 Bit intergrated on the motherboard. I too am experiencing the exact same problem. The input level for the mic is extremely low. I have to practically yell to get anything at all. I have already, updated drivers, checked to make sure that mic was my selected input device. Checked +20 mic boost, set all recording levels to high. Ensured that the correct device was chosing for recording. I can use sound recorded and actually record my voice. However the recording volume is extremely low. This MIC is nothing fancy, just an $8.00 mic that works absolutely fine on my Audigy Gamer sound card in another computer. So I know the mic is fine. I have gone over every setting I can find at least 0 times and I can't find a reason for the mic recording volume to be so low.Please help.. Thanks

Help... I can not get my microphone to work

Help.... I can NOT get my microphone to work with my Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Professional card. When I plug it in and test it (in either Configure Speech Recoginition - Windows Vista / or in Counter-Strike Source, Test Microphone Button under the game options) both indicate that the system is not receiving any sound. However, both the speakers (5.1) and headphones work fine. I am using a Plantronics headset.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Below are my complete system specifications. Let me know what additional information you need, if any.

I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.

Will not work. To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported. The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

How can I get my ipod to work with itunes?

When I connect my ipod classic into my new computer it seems that itunes does not recognize it. How can I get my ipod to work with itunes? I'm afraid to disconnect my ipod because the display is saying Do Not Disconnect.

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

Can't get out.print to work with XML jsp tags

<jsp:scriptlet>
if(ErrorTrap == true) {
out.println("<tr><td colspan=\"center\" align=\"center\">There was" an error while processing the form</td></tr>");
ErrorTrap = false;
</jsp:scriptlet>
I can't get this script to work with the XML stype jsp tags. It keeps telling me the <jsp> tags are untermintaed. Is there a special trick to fix this or do I have to use the non-XML type tags?

Sorry, I didn't mean to put the extra " in the out.println text string. :-/

How can I get elements 11 to work with 16 bits photos?

In the expert mode of Photoshop Elements 11, I can only work with 8 bits photos. How can I get Elements 11 to work with 16 bits photos?

No, you can still buy photoshop cs6 (perpetual license) if one doesn't want to subscribe to the cloud version (photoshop cc version 14)
Either way is expensive compared to photoshop elements.

How can I get Phillips Fidelio to work with ios7

How can I get Phillips Fidelio to work with ios7. It worked with the previous operating system

Not sure if this is the same problem others are having, but I used to play music on my Philips Fidelio by opening the Music app on my ipad and clicking on the box with the triangle (which has now disappeared in the new OS). However, if you have the philips dockstudio app, the box still appears there and I was able to get my speakers working again.

Is there an adapter can i get so square will work with the otterbox i have on my iphone

Is there an adapter can i get so square will work with the otterbox i have on my iphone, I love the otterbox and want to keep it on all the time. not only does it protect my iphone it, it makes it easy for me to hold because I have trouble with my hands. please help

That's a good question. The main problem with the Square readers is that the plug is designed to send data to devices, rendering most headphone extension cables useless.
Reading another forum I saw this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001BN7XSM
Give that a try. Claims to work perfectly for Square. NOT headphones.

I can't get airport extreme to work with iPad

I can't get airport extreme to work with iPad

Ok, thanks for clarifying that for me. We have two distinctly different printing problems. Let's try tackling them one at a time if you don't mind.
In order for the iPad to print to a printer it would either have to be AirPrint-enabled or you would need another solution, like PrintCentral for iPad or Printopia. Unfortunately, I don't believe your Canon printer is AirPrint-enabled. There aren't many printers on the market that currently are. All of them, that I am aware of, are HP devices.
Now for the PC. I would go with what you have already suggested and that is try disabling either the Windows or third-party software firewall. Which version of Windows is it running? Just in case it's XP, here are two excellent iFelix articles on how to do so with or without using Bonjour.

Satellite C660-18C - Can't get the microphone to work

So I couldnt get the microphone to work so I bought a new one. I also can not get this to work. I have tried everyway I can think of and it simply will not register any sound and yes the microphone is on and the volume is full.
Can someone please help me fix this? Its driving me crazy!

Hi belthazora,
Just to make sure we talk about an external microphone that you have connected to microphone jack and not internal one? I ask this because the notebook doesnt have internal microphone.
Anyway, if you use an external microphone make sure its listed in sound devices under recording tab. Can you see it there?
I would also recommend a sound driver update if it doesnt work. You can download all updates on official Toshiba page:
