can't record sound using microphone Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,

I am trying to record sound (words for a spelling game called Ray's Spelling) for my children. I have connected a microphone into the connection at the back of my PC but the sound recorder doesn't appear to work. When I try to record my voice using the sound recorded all I get is a hissing sound. When I try to record a word using the game (Ray's Spelling) I can only just about hear the word if I turn on my PC speakers to full volume.  

Can anyone help please?

Go to your volume control, Options and check to see if your MIC is muted if so click the box that says mute to unmute it, if not check to see if the MIC volume might be turned down..
