Microphones (READ ONLY ARCHIVE)

[squ4g]

hi, i spent about $28 at wal-mart for the logitech clearstyle chat microphone. when i got home, i plugged in the cords into the proper ports and apparently i couldn't record or send a voice clip to anyone/talk through the mic at all. it was also adjusted properly. SOMEONE please help. i've tried everything. adjusting the volume of the mic etc; i went to control panel > speech/sound and audio options. there's this realtek hd thing that i don't even know of. i'm beginning to think that i got ripped off. help and thanks
