[bcab] Skype problem with microphone

I wonder if anyone can help with this one.

I've just set up Skype on my home laptop.  I've created an account and 
have used the Echo123 test number to make sure that everything is working 
as it should.  I can certainly hear myself, but the mic level is very low. 
 My laptop uses a Realtek onbourd sound card.  When I plug the mic jack 
into the line in socket, the Realtek software asks me if I want to use 
line in or mic in.  As far as I can tell, I'm selecting the mic in option 
and pressing ok.  I've also gone int to the Sounds and Audio option from 
Control Panel and increased the mic recording level.

There has to be something obvious I'm missing here.  What else should I be 
checking?  Any thoughts gratefully received.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Kevin
