hi guys im a dell technician i just want to clarify the solution posted, you will just have to remove sigmatel and download sigmatel driver in support.dell.com, choose the one for vista of course.

I thought this work-around would work... But there isn't any drivers for vista, for my inspiron 1300. Sad but true

Does anyone know if this will work for Gateway? I'm having the same no mic issues.

Hello, I'm new to this stuff so if I don't use the proper computer etiquette please forgive me.

If i do this fix will I be able to hear my voice through the headphone jack when I speak through the mic. Thanks

What if I don't have sigmatel to begin with? :\

Exactly what I was wondering. I was just assuming that they were either already uninstalled by a person or program or just not on this model to begin with.

Correct or no?

Have you checked that the mic is enabled in your sound properties? I'm pretty sure it's off by default.

Toshiba boy... I did a little checking and this is what I found. Toshiba talks about the Toshiba Mic Effect For Windows Vista " Utility Mic Effect" Download 25928Aexe. Not to be used without the correct Driver Download. Something about an echo-- Vista 2007. You might want to call your Toshiba Support Number 1-800-457-7777 ( The Problem Is With XP Also) -I've also heard that on some Toshiba laptops, they have the ability to support a microphone but don't actually have one built in.-
