I was doing to many things at once and accidently disabled my microphones when i was meaning to do something else. A slip of the click and now I can't figure out how to renable them. Any help would be great as i am a gamer and voice chat makes quests and such alot easier. Thank you.

Hi to PCHF I'd try a system restore to the day before you had the problem give this a shot

Through the All Programs menu:
1.
Click Start.
2.
Point to All Programs.
3.
Point to Accessories.
4.
Point to System Tools.
5.
Click System Restore.
6.
Follow the instructions on the wizard.

Remember to select date before the issue!!

It didn't help- the restore

Is your windows XP or vista ? If you right click speaker near time has it got recording devices?

Vista
and recording devices say that nothing is installed.

ok I would try remove your sound drivers from device manager and reboot the PC they should reinstall is it there then?

I wonder if it is as simple as the mute box ticked for the microphone in the sound control panel, a double click on the speaker icon on the bottom task bar brings up the control panel in XP, I think it is the same in Vista, but not a Vista owner so not sure. Conversely have you also tried disconnecting the microphone by its plug, then replacing it to make sure it is connected correctly.
