mic promblems

I has a problem...

I have a microphone plugged into my computer, and whenever I try to use it on Scratch, it is an epic fail (meaning it doesn't work AT ALL).  The mic works, but is kinda old.  SOMEBODEE HALP!

Re: mic promblems

Does it work on anything besides Scratch? If not, it could just be your microphone.


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Re: mic promblems

How are you trying to test your microphone? Try this - open up Scratch, and have the <loud?> block's Stage Monitor show. Yell into the microphone - does the value in the Stage Monitor change? If so, then your microphone's working...

Re: mic promblems

Here's what you do if you can't get it to work. Now, I'm assuming you have Windows, if not, you're out of luck, and I can't help you.
Open the Start menu, then:
All Programs > Accesories > Entertainment > Sound Recorder
Press the record and talk, then save it. It should come out as a .wav file.
Import it to Scratch, and there you have it.
