Hi all - I'm trying to get to grips with Skype, but so far, can't seem to get a mic connected. I'm using the ac97 Realtech sound card, I have the Mic and speakers plugged in separately; nothing is muted in volume, and all volumes are up high. When I run the check hardware wizard from within volume, and it gets to the screen to test the Mic, although I can hear it back in my headphones, the wizard said it was unable to hear my voice, telling me that I'd be able to hear others through my speakers or headphones, but they wouldn't be able to hear me! What do I need to do? Oh yes! I clicked on my sound card from with in options on the tools menu of Skype as well. - Andy ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
