Speech Recognition does not recognize microphone 1

[Zig1]

I am using XP Home. I am trying to train the speech recognition program, but it does not recognize the microphone or headset speakers. I am using a headset that has worked with windows 98. The sound card is OK, I can get sound through external speakers. I know about the microphone mute button, that is not the problem.

Try a different microphone, if that doesnt work i have ran into a few boards with onboard sound that i couldnt get any mic to work on sent them back as faulty

I have tried three different headsets. None of them work. I also have another friend that seems to be having the same problem.

I solved the problem. There are two sets of microphone and speaker connections, one in the front of the machine and one in the back. The front connections were not connected and did ot work. the ones in the back work with the microphone and speakers.
