From the sounds of it, the recording device is set to "What-U-Hear", you need to change it to Microphone. You'll need to get a Windows user to tell you how to do that.

Also, plug the microphone plug into the microphone socket.

Hey NMonkey1977...

I had the same problem when I bought my X-Fi. I did a little hunting around and it is a case of a program trying to "HELP" too much. The program always expects people to be using Mic 1 as an input so to make it easy on people that switch out of Mic 1 the program changes it...

This link is to the Steam forums that has one line you can add so that it stops "HELPING" you. http://support.steampowered.com/cgi-...hp?p_faqid=237

Once you put that line in then you can put your Sound Properties to either Line/Mic2 or "What You Hear" and you should be all set to go...
