How do you get the microphone to work?

Plug the wide flat connector (USB) into a USB port on your computer and plug the small round pin connector into your computer's microphone port - the microphone port is usually located right next to the headphone port.

I haven't. I had to return it to Amazon as I could not get either the camera or the microphone to work. I have replaced it with another camera/microphone which works perfectly. I do not know if it was a defect in that particular unit or an incompatibility with my system software or hardware. My business is Data Processing consulting and I know a lot about the hardware and software on my PC and could not get it to work at all, so after many different trials, I gave up and purchased a similar but different unit and it worked the first time. No trouble at all.

there are two cables connecting with this webcam: one is usb,another is cabel for microphone. you should insert the cabel sanding for micophone into the computer microphone cave,then speak to the microphone, that ok,it is very easy! Good luck!

it kindof works hand in hand, have you tried it on skype or something because it should work whenever the camera is on and being used

The microphone needs to have a power source. If you do not have a (phantom) power it will not work.

You need a computer and a software. Then, you plug your mic to the unit and the USB interface cable to the computer. Good luck!

I had that problem with one of my cell phones, and I never solved it. I purchased a different phone , and it showed up on my computer. As for this microphone, I plugged it in my usb port, and it automatically showed up and worked. Try different usb ports if available, some have different settings.

i just received it, and my sister could not hear me at all. Please help, if you know how. I don't think that the microphone works!

My mic works fine, so I assume it has something to do with the connection or what you are plugging it into, try it out on someone else's computer

When I bought it, I plugged it into my afterglow headphones and the sound worked great but the microphone did not work.

Window 7: Control Panel: Hardware and Sound: Sound: Select the Recording Tab:See if the microphone is recognized. I set mine as default. Then selected Configure. If not recognized. Then may be a driver problem. Also might want to try a different microphone in microphone jack.

I would say that if it does not work it could be a problem with the mic or the audio system tha is connected to. The mic has a some options or buttons that you might need to play with but those are just to choose what type of mic will be used. Sorry i DON'T have more, it should work just fine, the power is given by the audio system amp. Do you have an amp?

Could be the Connecting cord attached to the mic, or a Program error within the Mic, or If you have a Linux Like me, Incompatibility issues, It's been a while since I used this mic and It only really worked with my Camera. I'd Say purchase a Different Mic, or experiment connecting it to other devices, and if you have another Connector cord try that too. Hope that Helps

Are you running Windows 7? I ran into some problems trying to get the microphone to work on Windows 7 but would be happy to show you how to do it if needed

I never got the microphone to work. I went to several target stores and tried meowsics on the shelf & no mics worked. I called the company and Target, asked- can you get me one with a working microphone and ship it to me. No, they don't do that.

If you downloaded the driver it could be your microphone boost that is on, or maybe you have some grounding issues, make sure your usb is in all the way, or it could be that your microphone have some wiring issues. If everything doesn't work, try looking up on google.

my mic works perfectly with no issues... if u tried messing with the settings and it still doesnt work it might just be a faulty product....

Thanks to your suggestion I plugged a Logitech camera/microphone into one of the usb ports (the one on the left side) and sound tested ok as did camera. That should rule out some parts of the machine (like the sound card I think). Anyone able to do this as well?

Plug in some headphones into the audio jack on the side of the mic. If you can hear yourself (adjust the volume knob), the mic is working and you need to check settings as others describe. If you can't hear yourself, it's a dud. I use a lot of these mics with clients and have had one get damaged. Rode repaired it right away.
