Computer microphones are used for recording and storing voice or music in computers in various formats like wave files and mp3 formats. The normal type of microphones cannot be used, as they need special connectors to use in computers.

Not all computers come with built-in microphones. Recordings in the computers are done using record pads. Wave pads enable editing and modifying the data recorded in the record pads.

Nowadays, computer manufacturers provide built-in microphones. Many companies are well known for the manufacturing of computer microphones. There are many companies like Sony, Motorola, Jabra, Planatronics, and Jenson that offer these computer microphones.

Buyer’s Guide to Microphones

Executive summary about Computer Microphone by Sunil Tanna

Attaching a microphone to your computer can be both useful and lots of fun - and it could even save you money. You can also use your microphone to record sounds (and your voice) and play them back via your computer

Microphones can be wireless, or hardwired directly into your PC. Good quality wireless microphones produce perfectly acceptable results, but they can be more expensive than hardwired microphones.

Microphones usually connect into the microphone jack in your sound card. If you have an old sound card, it might time to think about upgrading to a new sound card.

Most audio software includes a calibration feature which allows you to adjust the recording levels depending on your microphone and the volume of sound.

If you want best results, it is very important that you position the microphone correctly. If necessary, try experimenting with different microphone positions.

Wireless Laptop Computer

Built in wireless capabilities are becoming almost standard equipment on most laptop and home computers these days for a couple of reasons. If you’re like most people you probably can’t even check how much memory your computer has, let-alone if your computer is wireless enabled.

Throw in the fact that you may not even know what wireless networking is and it’s easy to ignore even trying to determine if your computer has that capacity.

Laptops - Intel Centrino Mobile Technology

If you have Intel Centrino Mobile Technology then your computer should have a “Centrino” sticker on it somewhere. Right click on your “My Computer” icon. It’s probably on your desktop but if not then go to your Start Menu, find My Computer, right-click and select Properties.

On a side note, Intel Centrino Mobile Technology also increases battery life and allows manufacturers to build computers smaller. If you can’t find anything referring to Intel Centrino Mobile Technology under the word Computer — don’t worry because as long as your laptop has a free card slot, installing wireless is a piece of cake.

Desktop Computers

If it’s there then you are wireless enabled. On the other hand, if there’s nothing then it’s still possible that you have a wireless device in the computer, especially if you purchased anytime in 2005 or beyond. Using Windows to Check Wireless Capacity

To use it, right click My Computer | Choose Manage | and then click Device Manager.

If there’s anything else there, it could be a wireless device.

If it turns out to be a driver problem, you should insert the driver CD that came with your computer. The first step would be to go to website of your computers manufacturer and do a search for the name of the wireless device that showed up in your Device Manager.
