Maybe with another post? :-D BTW what about a webcam pointing to the microphone plug (you will need also a 'jack detection' software)? :)

Unless you have hardware that has a specific way of determining this, you can't. No sound hardware I've ever used was able to detect if a mic is plugged in or not. You could iterate through the available audio input devices and "listen" for background noise or something.

How come my DELL Inspiron B130 detects device when I plug something in the microphone plug and shows a dialog? And also how come my Skype understands when a microphone is plugged in or out ? :confused:
USB device? If so, USB devices are generally recognized when they are plugged in. 1/8" mini-plug into a sound card? If so, then unless the sound hardware has a mechanism to recognize a plugged in microphone then I stand by my previous reply.
