when I play back what I record it's muted. What do I do?

Muted as in completely silent, or muted as in quieter than you think it should be?

What are you recording and on what? Pretend I want to go out and buy your computer.

Quiter than I think it should be, you can't hear what you play back but you can if you have yelled into the mic. I just record my self and others, I have a windows 7. Pretend you want to buy my computer, what do you mean?

He means tell us the make model no. operating system (incl. vn and SP level), soundcard used, leads connecting - details are good.

Where would I find all that?

Let's take this a slightly different way.

<<<you can if you have yelled into the mic.>>>

What microphone? The one built into your computer? Did you go out and buy a new microphone? Which one?

I bought a microphone when I first downloaded Audacity on my old computer, not too long ago. It's a GE microphone. I didn't keep the packaging so I don't know anything else about it really.

I just learned that it is a pc microphone with detachable mic and desktop stand, the site says it's compatible with Windows

I fixed it now the microphone can hear me.
