I’ve been using Vista for some times and then my mic is always plug into my computer. The thing that bother me is I can heard my voice when I talk into the microphone. This sucks, which mean when I volume up my speaker, I can heard a loud irritating noise. Besides that, without Mic Boost on, my friend can hardly heard me on Skype, but then the problem is not I don’t want to turn on Mic Boost, it’s I can’t. If I turn on, then the loud irritating noise can be heard again.

So, now I need to mute my microphone so I can’t heard my voice when I am talking into it, but it still can take my voice in during Skype call or other recording software.

I had been looking around in Vista to mute the Microphone but then I found nothing in the mixer. After searching for some help on the net, I found out how to mute the microphone.

First, open Control Panel. Look for Sound and open it.

Then at Playback tab, right click on Speakers then click on Properties.

Click on Levels tab, then you’ll see Microphone. There’s a speaker icon there, click on it and you’ll now got your Microphone mute.

Walla! It’s done. Congratulation now you can no worry of turning your speaker loud and doing mic boost.
