I could not record song in Audacity.

Hi jraju,

You can only hear sound if you have either speakers or headphones plugged into the green output socket. You are correct, the microphone goes in the pink socket. The blue socket is for input (ie an auxillary device, such as a CD player, cassette player etc) NOT a microphone.

You could just plug the mic in pink, the speakers in green and leave the black (headphones) unplugged. That way you should be able to record using the microphone and hear through the speakers.

Hi, Please see this
                    Windows is informing that Pink is in front portion of the computer and say it is in working condition. But I do not have any jack on the front. I only have 3 jacks at the back as per your diag.
Update: i tried the drivers on the page , something is not allowing even when i click allow in the window alerts. Why it is so? It says that the download program  signature could not be verified. Even when i select continue, it pops up the same message.
                     Moreover, if i uninstall Microsoft sound drivers, and reboot, after reboot, the audio drivers of msoft is detected and updated . The realtek drivers have no part in the audio system.
                        I tried intel auto update, but there is no support for this version in their site.
                           How to test the mike, (only bought yesterday with windows.

Hi jraju,

Don't know anything about recording but do about Google  :smiley: and found this trouble shooter supplied by Dell but generic to Windows you could try, if applicable to your Win version http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/266424/%7Bdoclang%7D

HI, Thanks Boggins,
                       I tried dell trouble shooter. It found no issue and hence i do not know. By the by, the sound record if opens show a little greenish start point, and when i click record, no movement but saves it as wma.If i play that there is no sound
Update answer:
                   Now I have two audio drivers, realtek and microsoft HD
                      Realtek correctly shows the connection type and position front or rear.
                       But realtek icon when double clicked just do nothing, unlike Microsoft HD, which pops up the sound meter

Boggin:
I don't know what that trouble shooter checks as I didn't run it, but I've recently came across these Fixits which resolved a music CD problem for me http://www.free-codecs.com/Microsoft_Fix_It_download.htm

The WMP edition found and corrected a corrupt Library among other things and now that CD plays fine.

As yours could also be WMP related they may be worth a try.
