help me make my computer headset work
I'm trying to record audio onto my computer, trouble is the built in microphone is quite awful and produces a loud buzzing noise in the background of any recording.
I have a headset which I have used in the past for gaming that I'm trying to use again to record audio instead of the built in laptop mic, but CamStudio and/or my laptop are not recognizing it.
I've tried googling and it just brings me in an endless loop of things that don't help.
FWIW - I'm using a Dell Inspiron 1520 running Windows 7. The laptop appears to recognize when I plug the microphone jack in - when I view my mic devices it'll pop up as line in, but it doesn't register sound (levels don't rise when I tap it) and CamStudio will just record silence. I've checked and the mute button on the headset itself is not engaged.
Any ideas?

I host a podcast about movies.
the "Microphone" is the built in mic and the levels will spike when I make noise.
The line in below appears when I plug the headset in, but nothing actually registers.
