How to mute microphone in Windows Vista
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.
Blogging away from home / office
Let’s say you are going on a vacation or whatever trip to somewhere else, out of town, country and away from your computer at home, at that time, you can hardly blog. When you didn’t update your blog for a few days or a week, reader will start to move away.
Unless you have a laptop with you all the time or you visit to the nearest internet cafe. What if you don’t have a laptop like me, you probably have to go to the internet cafe or use any mobile device that allow you to go online via wifi or whatever etc. mobile phone, PDA, iPod touch or something like that. It will be better if that device has a QWERTY keyboard, it’ll make blogging easier. Blackberry, Palm or those QWERTY keyboard phone it’ll will be good. iPhone or the iPod touch are not really good to type on because of the touch screen, even though there’s a on-screen keyboard, it still don’t feel good because you can’t feel the key.
All of these is just for temporarily blogging usage and should not be replace your computer at home. There’s disadvantage using this mobile device to blog on the go like currently I am blogging through my iPod touch and I can’t highlight words and add links to it. I am not sure about the PDA, but I pretty sure you can’t do it with a mobile phone. Besides that, you can’t really add a photo into a post.
Get yourself a laptop. I want a laptop, I want a MacBook, but it will be a long time as if I want to get a MacBook, I will wait till next year summer for the school open promotion for student. At that time, I will get rebate on the MacBook and also a free iPod nano. I am wondering can my make money online business can earn a MacBook by end of next year or not, I think can. Let’s see.
Windows Product Activation prevents me to login to Windows
Somehow I don’t know why I occur this problem. This gave me a lesson that I should get an original copy of Windows. Bye bye Mr. Pirated Windows.
Anyway, for those who got this error, you can search in the Internet for AntiWPA, run it in safe mode and restart.
