How do I determine if my computer has a microphone?
Question:How do I determine if my computer has a microphone?
Answer:The majority of all desktop
computers
have and use external
microphones,
which means
you will have to have a microphone connected to the computer. If you
do not have any type
of microphone attached to your sound
card (the same place as your speakers)
you do not have a microphone on the computer.
If you have a laptop
or other portable
computer it is likely that it has a built in microphone. The
microphone will usually be on the top or in the front of the
portable computer and be identified with a picture
of a microphone or "Mic" next to a small hole.
Where do I buy a microphone?
Almost every local computer store or electronics store will carry
a microphone that is compatible with a computer. If you have
determined that your computer did not come with a microphone visit a
local retail store or visit an online store to purchase a
microphone.
