Sound card died, need help with onboard sound setup

[Getback]

My sound card died a tragic death. Struck by a surge I believe. So I switched to my on-board sound. Everything sounds great but when I use my mic I get tons of feed back. So if anyone knows the magic setup to quit that let me know. Also, do you think headphones will stop that?

You need to mute the mic on the playback side.

That helped didn't solve it completely. Thanks though.

Run DXDiag, click on the Network tab and run the vox wizard to set your mic levels.

you said your sound card died. if this is so then you need to go into bios and turn your onboard sound back on. first however you need to remove your old sound card before you do this

I got it solved. Thanks for the help. I had deleted the hardware for the old card and thought that deleted the drivers. Upon checking it out again I saw the old drivers and deleted them. Then I changed the environment to room and wa la! fixed.
