Laptop to be used for Karaoke sing-along

[abhiprad]

I am using Dell Latitude D420 for past few months. I am keen to use this laptop to sing along with Karaoke song. However whenever I am playing CD or playing MP3 track through laptop I am not able to get mike output simultaneously. Please suggest any software or accessory so as to use my laptop to sing along with Karaoke track.

You have to enable Microphone in the Playback Properties of the Windows Mixer. What version of Windows operating system do you have?

The particular settings may depend on the driver you have installed for your soundcard. Please try to look for info in your soundcard driver manual.
