Skype mic problem

emerald21

Hi, Can anyone suggest what i could try to get my inbuilt microphone to start working again please. It was working fine one minute but now the other person cant hear me talking when im on Skype. I ve looked at audio settings and the mic part doesn t seem to move.Thanks

If you right-click the volume icon (in your system tray by the clock) and then select Recording Devices, does your Microphone show up there?

Sometimes a windows update or audio driver update can reset everything and you need to "set as default" again whichever microphone you want to use. On my pc I have an inbuilt microphone on my webcam but I choose to use the microphone on my headset so set my soundcard as default device.

Hi No not when i right click but when i left click it says my speakers are 28% and Realtek family controller disconnected what ever that is. I ve always used the inbuilt mic and is usually fine. I have had some development since trying to fix it but it sjust as bad as all i get now is a loud high pitched noise and my small voice in the distance.
