Microphone and Computer HELP!

[mpimpin]

I like to hook my laptop up through my stereo system and play music through the PC. I just bought a cheap mic that works in My PC, but so far i've only figured out how to record using the mic then play back. Is there any software that will allow me to do a live feed..... Using the mic through the computer and immediately having it come out of my speakers???

In Windows I believe it does that by default...turn up the mic and the speakers and it should come out of the speakers. If not, fiddle with the volume settings and see if there's an option for "monitoring" or something like that. To get to the mic volume, double click on the speaker in the system tray (in the lower right of the screen) and go to File -> Properties and click on the "Recording" radio button, check all the boxes, and hit OK and the mixer will switch over to the input volume controls. Mine has a "Stereo Mix" volume which is what has to be selected in order to hear myself--each sound card is different though.
