What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running on?
What type of microphone are you using - USB type or one that plugs into a computer jack? According to Adobe, USB microphones
do not work with Premiere Elements. There are infrequent exceptions.
After you attach your microphone to the computer, do you go into Premiere Elements 13 Edit Menu/Preferences/
Audio Hardware ASIO settings to assure that your microphone is recognized and enabled? If you open the Premiere
Elements 13 Narration Tool, is your microphone recognized there?
