[bcab] Re: Skype problem with microphone

Kevin,
 
Make sure under options that the advanced buttons are selected in your
volume control.
 
Hit the advanced button next to mic and see if there's 20DB or boost
tick boxes in there.
 
Tick these and see how you sound.

Subject: [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
