OKAY. So my dad just got me this webcam and headphone/mic set

The headphones and webcam work fiiine.

But the microphone.. hmm. I JUST opened it out of the package.. it can't be broken.. at least, I don't think so..

why can't I hear anything I say[edited]? Does anyone know how I can test it out..[the mic]?

[achu]

you have to make sure that your mic is being detected by your computer.
open control panel > sounds and audio devices
in the audio tab:
select the sound recording device...them press sound for that section and have mic selected...raising the volume bar will make the mic more sensitive. if there is an advanced option...open it to make any adjustments as necessary.

from the system tray:
open volume control and make sure mic is not muted adjust volume too.
if you go under advanced for that section...you can check a volume boost or something...its not recommended unless you really cant detect anything.

if that doesnt help then.....i dunno. missing drivers? haha i really dont know
