Microphone Trouble

[Jesper]

Okay, so I have a major lamo.

I was going on a trip, but the only game I managed to remember was Spirit Tracks.
As I'm not a huge fan of the game (ToS ftl) I decided to replay it.
I got the song of awakening, and then I went to the Lokomo.

And guess ****ing what.
THE MICROPHONE DID NOT WORK!
I went like: WTF!!!

And now I cant find the game case, so simple question:

Is there something alternate to the microphone? Like a button or something...

It feels like bull**** not being able to play the game in the future, unless I get a DSXXL or something. Maybe the DS3D?

But plz, answer!!

Was it a car trip? Because the microphone senses the pressure (or whatever it is ) in the car. (It might work on the plane too, but I'm not sure.)

 

[Jesper]

Well yes... I will check it now, and pray that it works. Kinda wanna replay it now xP

Nope, still doesn't work. Any other suggestions? ........................

 

[TheSerpent]

No. When you mean "not working", do you mean that it doesn't sense it at all, or just that it is all messed up?

Because when what I said before happens to me, it still senses it, but will play notes randomly when I am not even blowing.

If you're in the car, the microphone will pick things up. Like what the Serpent said and also I think it will pick up the air conditioner. I think it picks up the air conditioner because a car is more confined. Other than that, there is no microphone replacement or anything of the sort that I know of.

Okay, I'll explain it a little bit more in depth.

The microphone does not sense blowing/sound at all. It used to sometimes screw up and then just play notes randomly, but now it is not working at all.
