start > programs > accessories > entertainment > volume control

options > properties

hit the recording ratio, and select whatever input you're using. hit ok

select whatever input you're using, and put the volume up maybe 80%.

in flstudio, select an open insert, where it says 'IN' at the top of the mixer, choose one of the options (all my options detect sound, so choose whether or not you want mono or stereo (usually you want mono)).

if you speak or play something, it should run through fl. turn down the buffering if you don't want much/any latency.

If you're running the mic in through a mic plug or through your soundcard somehow then you should be able to simply choose the mic input from the IN list on the mixer track.

well, i have a mic plugged in to my mic port, and audacity recognizes my mic, but i go to my mixer, and in the "in" thing, nothing is listed there for me to choose... =/

Which soundcard interface are you using? (F10, then audio settings) Try ASIO4ALL then check again.

Make sure you don't have any other music applications (windows media player, youtube, ANYTHING utilizing sound) outside of FL Studio when you start asio4all. Also, make sure in your midi settings (F10) you don't have any midi ports currently enabled (set them to -, rather than a port number)
