Write down description make and model - double click on it - drivers tab - write down version. Now
Click UPdate Drivers which may not do anything as MS is far behind certifying drivers. Then RIGHT
CLICK on it and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.
If your driver shows 06 you have the windows default and that is part of the issue.
Now go to System Maker's site and get latest Sound/Audio drivers - Download - SAVE - go to where you
put them - Right Click on - RUN AS ADMIN - Reboot
Check the Version on Driver's tab in Device Manager as often sound drivers rollback and then finally install
the current version. Reboot and check after each try, not unusual to have to run the driver 1-4 times or so.
Just make sure the version you installed shows up in the driver's tab.
Then go to Device Maker's site and look for even newer drivers and repeat install procedure.
Manually look at manufacturer's sites for drivers - and Device Maker's sites.

How to Install a Device Driver in Vista Device Manager
http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html
---------------------------------------------------------
After updating driver.
Right click Speaker near Clock - Recording Devices - right click in box - check Show Disconnected Devices
and Show Disabled Devices - check your mic - highlight them and then on lower right properties. Make
sure the proper one is enabled and check other settings - on Levels tab make sure MUTE is unchecked
and APPLY / OK changes.
Also in Control Panel look for some Audio Manager (maybe named after sound driver maker). Mine
is RealTek Audio Manager, yours can be entirely different name if you have one.
