Billy, just Skype "echo123" to make that test call... or visit the below URL; 
full explanation and a link to test your mic can be found there.

  Amro, may sound strange this one, but I have just installed Skype on my Vista 
laptop, and for the life of me can't remember how to check my Microphone is 
working. 
  Can you please help?,

    Hmmm. Not sure Terry I'm afraid. But you couldn't possibly have muted your 
microphone from within the Skype menus? I think Skype used to have the push to 
talk feature but not any more, is that true? So you can't have that feature 
enabled... Sorry I couldn't be of any more help.

    Cheers,
    Amro

      Hi

      In the skype audio set up, I have the default option highlighted.  The 
other two options, are my on board conexant speakers and built in microphone, a 
reference to total recorder.  

      In the audio set up in sounds and audio devices, in control panel, its 
highlighted to use the conexant.

      I've tried highlighting the conexant in skype, and tried highlighting the 
default, neither work.

      Terry

        Well you might've done this already, but have you made sure it is your 
microphone that is selected in the Skype Audio settings page? If you're using a 
USB mic then it should show up as an Audio device along with your computer's 
soundcard.

        HTH,

          Hi Terry

          Thanks for that, but I'd already tried it, but tried it again, 
without success.

          I've updated my sound drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled them, done 
the same with skype, can't figure it out.

          As I say, msn works.

          Apart from what other applications I have installed, the only ones 
that are specifically related to recording issues, are, Gold Wave, and total 
recorder.  I have things like winamp, media player, but they shouldn't play any 
part in this.

          Any other ideas?

          Terry
