Diagnostic Software for Multi-media

Hi Folks,
I need to check if the hidden microphone in my laptop is working. Is there any diagnostic software available to test this?

Cheers,
Abhijit :wave:

Why not just try to record a sound with Windows Media Recorder ?
They play it back and see if its working that way ?

I was upset to find that my HP laptop doesn't HAVE a built-in microphone. It's the first laptop that I've seen that doesn't have one. It has a button to disable the microphone, though. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Ouch, isn't that some form of false advertising ? or just a useless feature.

Any luck Abhijit ?

It mutes the microphone jack, but so does unplugging it. :)

Well, I tried to get a friend call me on my googletalk. No luck with that either.
I also realized that this laptop is not a HP. Its a Dell 610 Latitude. No its not a useless feature, as I use it a lot. Better than typing
