hey, my mic i just bought last night isnt working, and i only got a new mic because i use ventrillo all the time to play wow and i thought my old 1 broke because no one can hear me. but the mic seems to work fine on my old computer. then i ran the hardware test to see if my mic was okay and i got these 2 errors by following instructions below

Windows cannot execute DPVSetup.exe, use Add/Remove Programs control panel to install.

DirectPlay Voice has encountered an error.

THAT SOLUTION BELOW DOES NOT WORK
does anyone else have another solution for me???


In the Sound and Audio Devices tool in Control Panel, when you click Voice Test on the Voice tab, you may receive one of the following error messages:


Error Message:
Sound Hardware Test: An error occurred during direct play voice setup. The error code is 0x80004005.Translation:
This error message may also be seen with the following error message: Windows Error: Windows cannot execute Dpvsetup.exe. Use Add/Remove Programs Control Panel to install. The problem most likely resides with a known WinXP bug that was probably triggered by another bug in the Game Voice program.
Solution:
The solution involves reconfiguring some advanced sound settings and tweaking the Registry. Start by opening the Control Panel and selecting the Sounds And Audio Devices icon (in the Sounds, Speech, And Audio Devices category). Choose the Voice tab, locate the Voice Playback heading, and click the Advanced button. From the Advanced Audio Properties dialog box, choose its Performance tab and move the Hardware Acceleration slider to the right. It doesn't matter how far to the right, as long as the Hardware Acceleration slider is set to something other than None. Click OK to close the dialog boxes.

Before continuing to the next phase of the solution, you must make sure Dpvsetup.exe isn’t open and running on your PC. Press the CTRL-ALT-DELETE key combination to access the Task Manager and locate any references to Dpvsetup.exe or DirectPlay Voice. End all of them and close the Task Manager.

Now it’s time to edit the Registry. Open the Start menu, select Run, type regedit in the Open field, and click OK. In the Registry Editor, locate and highlight HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\DIRECTPLAY\VO ICE\AUDIOCONFIG. The AudioConfig key should include a pair of nested folders labeled with hexadecimal numbers. Open both of them to reveal several Registry values, including three labeled as FullDuplex, HalfDuplex, and MicDetected.

Right-click the FullDuplex value and select Modify from the pop-up menu. In the resulting Edit DWORD Value dialog box, type 3 in the Value Data field and click OK. Repeat the procedure for the HalfDuplex and MicDetected values, setting the Edit Value fields to 3 for HalfDuplex and 2 for MicDetected. Close the Registry Editor and reboot the computer. The microphone should now work correctly. If it doesn’t, you may have a malfunctioning microphone or Game Voice control pad on your hands.




someone please helppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

right click on the speaker icon and open the adjust audio properties box. on the voice tab make sure that a program is listed in the voice playback area and it should be listed as the default device. Then click on the volume button and make sur that the mic has not been muted. if so, just uncheck the mute box and apply out.

tried its not that

also i should add the mic doesnt work with anything even windows recorder

Hey infamousx3!

Go to volume control. Click properties, and then click record. OK.
You're now viewing the Recording settings, make sure your mic is 'selected', and the volume is at highest.
