Microphone problem, please help.

[Ballinnnnn']

Ok, I am very annoyed. I just reformatted and I have this same stupid problem as I had awhile ago but I forgot what I did to fix it. My Ventrilo won't work for some annoying stupid reason. My microphone option in my Audio Properties is not active.





I've done everything I can think of. Updates my drives, screwed around with Sound Properties, and still no progress. Please help me fix my problem so I can use Ventrilo again! Thanks!
