Windows Live Messenger Voice Clip Problem?

The windows live messenger 2011 mic problem solution (windows 7)?

• i am actually using a dutch windows 7 i found out what my mic problem was maybe u people have the same issue . like ur mic works everywhere except for msn and wlm. the solution i found in my pc was hard to track but when u know its easy in ur systray right click the sound icon . go to the tab next to playback (recording i believe its called) right click the mic that reacts on ur voice . right click that microphone and proceed to properties .Rename ur microphone to (example My microphone or working microphone) in the first tab. next step proceed to the last tab and disable all exclusive use options . now close or signoff windows live messenger . sign back on . go in windows live messenger to the sound and video options on the main messenger screen. and click on your renamed mic activate it and it should just work fine . my problem was my pc has 2 mic entrees one at the front one on the back of pc . windows live messenger kept switching to the frontside mic connection point witch isnt active and since both ports have the same name it gets msn gets fooled cause it seems to msn etc that the front mic is the one working . even if u do say this is my mic it works msn kept switching back to the wrong one since they got the same name . i have tried a relogin once again to test if the mic works it does work it is all in patients and learning but remember that exclusive options cant be on or else it will never work in windows live messenger 2011 . for those of u willing to thank me no need for just be happy and spend time talking on the mic . greetz :P
