hi, guys,

i just got my macbook today. loving it. i installed XP on it (with boot camp) and tried to voice chat with my friends on MSN messenger. But during the 1st-time setup of voice/video device for MSN messenger, i found my microphone settings are grayed out. I went ahead and tried to talk to my friend and found that the video was okay (i was using an USB webcam) but my voice was not going thru. I figured this may be because Bootcamp doesn't provide the xp drivers for the built-in mic, so I pluged the microphone of my headphone into the macbook to give it a try but it still didn't work.

Is it really that bootcamp doesn't have XP drivers for Macbook's built-in mic? if so, how come an external mic still doesn't work?

Thanks a lot.
