I had a system built at Yongsan. Every thing works pretty well except for the Microphone and headphone jacks on the front of the box. For example, when I try to use Skype and I plug in the headphones/microphone I hear nothing and the computer does not recognise the presence of a microphone. Any ideas what the problem might be, and if I could fix it myself? Thanks in advance.

Sometimes there are two sets of jacks. One in the front and one in the back. They generally only hook up one set.

Try the back.

My computer recognizes my microphone but it seems to have a 5-7 second delay in processing it, making it useless for internet calls. Think it's my pathetically cheap microphone or my computer?

It's a plug-in microphone that I only use with Yahoo Messenger, and its the Yahoo sound check that is delayed. Could it be my internet connection? Or Yahoo? It worked fine for months, and then a few months ago it got the delay.

Edit: I just tried it with Skype and it seemed fine. Must be Yahoo.

I'm having a similar problem with Vista. When I run XP, the front jack works just fine. When I switch to Vista, no headphones are detected. I was using Realtek drivers for Vista and the front jack was ok, but I had to uninstall them as they were causing conflicts with certain apps.
