Some have a switch on the stem or on the cord. Make sure it is turned on... maybe too obvious, but I have occasionally had too many whacks with the dumb stick, so I tend to see my liabilities in others ;-) Make sure the mike is plugged in all the way. Some times those mini jacks will hit a snag and not go all the way in right.
