Switched to Windows 7, Headset doesn't work

Search for the drive that your headset is plugged into. Like F: or C: or whatever.

If it's just your standard 3.5mm jacks, it has to be compatible. That is exactly how my mic is, and it works just fine on Windows 7.

Oh. Maybe the headset is broken? :D

This happened to me, I've been having to use my usb plug in adapter thingy.

Well it's not an earbud one. It clips over one ear. It's meant for using with a phone, but an adapter for PC was included in the bundle, and I can use for Xbox Live. I couldn't pass up a bargain.

Right click your audio icon on the bottom right of your screen, or the far right of your task bar. Then, go to Recording Devices. Enable it or set it as the Default Device.
Huzzah.

Hmmm... I think I know what's going on.
I've got an IDT Audio card, and back on XP it had a little panel from IDT I could open up and configure stuff. I actually had to change settings via that program to get my mic to work.
I have absolutely no idea where I got that download, it was a long time ago and now I cant find it at all, let alone Windows 7.
Halp? :o
