Need Help (Someone with Computer Skills)

I just purchased a MIC for my computer. I have plugged it in every hole I have and I'm not able to get it to let me record in my program. What am I doing wrong?....

No, it's just a MIC, like one for singing.

@Dave
I'll do that.

so its just a regular mic? Not a PC Mic? DO you need software for it maybe? Did your PC do anything when u plugged it in? It should run a test?

Ok, what kind of plug is it? A standard RCA style input? A USB mic?

These folks are on the right track. In order to plug your mic into the soundcard on your computer you need one that has a mini jack. Standard rca jack won't work. Also, what program are you trying to use it with? Is this a mac or pc?

Whan requesting tech help details are always helpful.

It's a 3.5 mm plug that I'm putting in the microphone plug. It shows nothing on the screen when I put it in and I'm using a PC and the programs are Cool Edit Pro and Acid 4.0.

And you've installed any drivers that come with the mic? What brand/model is the mic? More info! :)
