Windows Vista Razer mic does not work with vista

I recently installed vista 64 "what a crap system" the mic on razer barracuda head set does not work however it all works with xp pro. I am using the razer card. I had a creative lab sound card in this system and the mic worked there with vista. I have the latest drivers in fact I had to go and get them online.
any input appreciated.
Thanx, Crashaxe
