Inspiron E1705/9400 - Microphone?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
The title says it all. I had gotten used to using my 8600's integrated mic for voice communications (Ventrilo), and tried to do the same with the E1705 and got nothing. Does this machine have a mic built in at all and I'm just missing something? Or am I going to have to use an external mic of some sort?

If the latter is the case, does anyone have suggestions on a decent mic for this purpose? I would prefer something that isn't simply a headset, as I already have a set of headphones I really like.

I checked the documentation for the machine and it didn't mention a mic at all, however I find it hard to believe that a "Multimedia" monster like this wouldn't have something as simple as a microphone....

I tried recording on my E1505 and it doesn't have a Mic either. Unless you're looking to record something in high quality I'd jus get a cheap PC mic and use that. You can probably get them on ebay for $1 or something.

if you have bluetooh get a bluetooth headset or a set of bluetooth headphones/headset the only2 i can recomment that do both if the plantronics stereo bluetoooth headset or the iphone mini (i read the headset for voice kinda sucks on this one though)

I know my E1505 doesn't have a built in microphone. I purchased an Altec Lansing (AHS302usb) USB Stereo Headset with Microphone a few months back at BestBuy for $30-$40, and love the quality of the audio and the comfort of the behind the neck headset. Not sure if that would meet your needs, but I enjoy mine quite a bit.
