everytime I open the computer if want to use msn messenger or sound
recorder microphone does not work. I have to click the volume control
window-options-properties-select recording-ok-click "select" microphone in
the recording control window. then only I am able to speak in the
microphone. Once I switch off the computer and open, again I have to do the
same exercise.
there is no such problem in yahoo messenger perhaps yahoo is having its own
sound recorder.

any solution?? thanks.
