ummm...even though your mic is up on the computer...i think cool edit has a place for you mic volume...i am not sure...i use adobie audition 1.5 and i know there are ways to mute shit n such without even realizing it...open a new session and make sure nothing is muted...or on your mic there might be a on/off switch...maybe on the bottom if its a real good one...but i dont know, just check cool edit...you mic should work if its new
