Uh...hey guys! I was just wondering if we could use the standard built-in microphone for talking on ear-phones/buds that we get with phones...I own a normal Samsung earbud, that came with my phone, and has a speaker in the middle of the cord, with a square button, and two volume buttons. I just wanted to try Cortana out with the new voice recognition system, but I have lost my mic-headphone somewhere 'round my place during the renovation....is there a way to do this? Whenever I try to start the voice wizard with this current pair of earbuds, Windows says that "device not found"........any help?

You're more then likely going to need an actual headset with mic to get the functionality with Cortana.
