Can't record sound using microphone

Hello,

I am trying to record sound (words for a spelling game called Ray's Spelling) for my children. I have connected a microphone into the connection at the back of my PC but the sound recorder doesn't appear to work. When I try to record my voice using the sound recorded all I get is a hissing sound. When I try to record a word using the game (Ray's Spelling) I can only just about hear the word if I turn on my PC speakers to full volume.

Can anyone help please?

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 7.0

Go to your volume control, Options and check to see if your MIC is muted if so click the box that says mute to unmute it, if not check to see if the MIC volume might be turned down..

Recording feature in Windows itself unfortunately gives poor quality of records. I recommend using specialized software. For example, MP3 Recorder Studio, it's easy to use, records directli in mp3, produces good output quality.
