I have found some Sony headphones that I used to use for listening to music , so I'm going to need a microphone or is there an internal ones in laptops, I have a compaq nx90200

some laptops have microphones built in so u can use that and the speaker in the laptop
check yr manual to see if yours has built in speakers etc then u can just go for it..
the lines are very clear just like talkin on a telephone i was surprised.. course if u want to keep yr calls secret u will need the headphones
HTHWhen you know better you do better0 -
It does have in built speakers, but I don't have a manual as it's a company laptop, I've plugged in the normal headphones and a kareoke microphone and set up the Call Setup Assistant and it has registered that they are working so I should be able to use it now!!!
I thought I'd try it this way before going to the expenses a pc headphone with built in mic or internet voip phone.0 -
I read somewhere that you could plug in headphones into the microphone socket and speak into the ear piece, I tried it and it works.0
