Rosetta Stone - Microphone Setup & Speech Recognition

If you are having difficulties getting Rosetta Stone to recognize your voice for the required speaking assignments, there's a few troubleshooting tricks you can try. If Rosetta Stone can't hear your voice, you should start by first looking at the system settings on your computer. Once you are convinced your headset microphone is working with your computer, you can then check your audio input settings in Rosetta Stone preferences. Let's take a look at these step by step.


Check Your Computer First:

1. How do I test to see if my headset/microphone works on my laptop (Windows XP)?
2. How do I test to see if my headset/microphone works on my laptop (Windows VISTA)?
3. How do I test to see if my headset/microphone works on my laptop (Windows 7)?

Check Your Settings in Rosetta Stone:

4. I know my headset/microphone works on my laptop, but it won't work in Rosetta Stone.
5. Why is Rosetta Stone skipping all the assignments where I'm supposed to be speaking?
