My Mic won't function and Sonar doesn't pick up the signal.

I am trying to record my voice into Sonar but somehow, it won't pick up the signal from the microphone.
Other than Sonar, it seems like my microphone is working with no problem but it just won't work within Sonar.
(I've tried it on different softwares.)
Can someone please help me on this problem?
My settings are below,

    A couple of dumb questions

    1. Are you arming the track before you press record?

    2. Does the mic need phantom power?

    3. What is the mic?

    4. Are you seeing any movement on the input meters when you use the mic?

    To add to Wookiee's comments... Just to rule it out did you run 'wave profiler' and all went well? Try a different USB port? Carry on....
