Citizen, I need your tech help. I'm trying to use my microphone on my computer. I realized I'd muted it in the control panel. Now I see why. Anytime it's not muted, I get this annoying little whine from the speakers. just a 'eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee' noise. Any thoughts on fixes, other that leaving it muted and only de-muting it when I use it?

Unfortunately, it's not that. The noise continues no matter how far the mic is from the speakers, even if I unplug the mic. the only thing I've found that stops it, is ticking the mute box on Microphone, in advanced sounds and audio devices properties.

Right click on My Computer and select manage from the drop down list. Computer management window should appear, on the left hand side select device manager.
Are there any devices listed with a yellow question mark icon? If so what are they called?
Also what is the make and model of your sound card and microphone? The sound card can be found through the device manager under Sound/video and game controllers or through the sounds and audio devices menu in the control panel if you don't know

Another thought:
in the start menu hit run and type sndvol32.exe into the box to bring up the volume settings.
Go to options and click Advanced controls, also select properties and recording under the adjust volume for panel and hit OK.
Select under microphone should be ticked. There should also be an 'Advanced' button. Hit that. What have you got under other controls? Also if mic boost is selected deselect it.

no expanded tabs by default, but I expanded them all to check for yellow bits, nada. Not sure what my sound card is, I think it's just whatever came with the system, I only upgraded the video card. All the other stuff you mentioned is as it should be. Microphone boost is de-selected, alternate microphone is selected. no other options. the noise continues dispite rather or not these are ticked. Boost, just adds more noise and amplifies.
