Re: micro phones, HELP!

If I could help, I would, but alas, I can't. Are you sure you're plugging them both in properly?

New sound card?  Before you do that, why don't you check in your Accessories programs (assuming this is not a Mac) and see if you have an application called Sound Recorder.  If you have that, you can test your mics outside of Scratch and see if they work.

Re: micro phones, HELP!

Or just click "run...", type "sndrec32" and hit enter.

I also recommend double clicking the "sound" icon (a speaker) and check if your sound Input device is set to "Microphone" - make sure you plug in your mic right.

Re: micro phones, HELP!

Does the mic work on any programs besides scratch? if it only doesn't work on scratch, you might be able to use a program like Audacity to record your voice and then import it.


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.

Then you might be able to get another program like Audacity, which I said earlier (don't worry, it's free) and then use that to record your voice. Then you can save it as .mp3 or .wav and open it in scratch.
I still don't know why your mics won't work in scratch.

Re: micro phones, HELP!

I dont have a mic so im no help. sorry  sad


Dear Scratch Users,
I'm done with scratch, or at least making projects. I have made one last big game, thats both fun and teaches a lesson about water. It'd mean a lot if you gave me feedback.                              http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/bosox397/569201

Make sure your microphone works, then press the record button (the big red one next to the play button) and record. Then go to File and export it.

Re: micro phones, HELP!
