Make sure that the default speaker and recording device is set to the ATR Microphone. If it is not, click on the ATR Microphone and click Set Default. You can also double click on it and click Levels and set the volume to 100% from the default 25% which is too quiet.

Step 5
Enjoy your microphone, if sound is not being outputted by a certain program then check that program's settings and make sure that the speakers and microphone are set to ATR Microphone. Some programs that may do this include Skype and Fraps.
