So I was thinking of starting a video blog of me, but I have one problem. The microphone makes these ticking sounds during the recordings and distorts my voice a little. It is a built-in microphone to my laptop. I also have Vista. Anyone know how to help me? Yes, it is time to teach the nerd...

Yeah you need to check your on board hardware It sounds like a hardware issue.

If it is there are lots of mics that can be used through USB that are super.

Try using another recording software like Audacity. It's free and works on all versions of windows. However I think your problem maybe hardware related, but it's worth a try.

You can download Audacity here.

Number one, get rid of Vista. Two, get a decent quality microphone and depending on what software you are using to record with you might want to look at that as the source of your problems. Some software may not be reserving enough of your system resources during recording, and the clicks you are getting result from your program having to wait momentarily while Windows has turned over the processor to something else for long enough to cause an interruption of the digitizing of the incoming audio.
