  Take the game out of your Wii and check that there is no debris or scratches on it.

  Change the batteries in your WiiMote, which must be in working order for your microphone to work. Once the new batteries are in, make sure your WiiMote, Wii and microphone are all in sync by holding the 1 and 2 buttons on the WiiMote to reconnect everything.
