I have used an SB Live sound card for quite some time under Windows 98 SE and whenever I needed to record using a microphone I used a pre-amp and fed the output of that into the line in socket.
I've decided to try out Skype so connected the microphone of a headset/mic combo into the mic socket on the SB Live card. The mic works properly and I can hear what's going in. However, I can't get the sound from the mic into Skype or, for that matter, Sound Forge. I looked at the volume utility and while it shows SB Live 9800 as an input device and microphone appears in the list of inputs, it does not appear in the dialog box which allows one to change the gain for cd, line in or midi or to mute those. Can anyone help me with this problem?
