Hi Eamonn,
the latest Skype version (if you don't already have it) is 3.8, and does a
much better job at controlling the microphone audio. it is available via
Help, Updates. I should also say that, while Echo123 is helpful when you
record a message as instructed and then listen back to it, it sounds a
little more distorted than either you or your contact will. Tony spoke of
having an 'internal microphone'. I wonder if he were to mute that, would
that unmute his external? (Occurred to me after i wrote to Tony.)
Another sort-of acid test is to try out recording in the Windows Sound
Recorder with the microphone.

Hi Tony,
You can get to your volume control settings (including the microphone,)
as follows:
Start,
run,
Then type:
Sndvol32 and press the enter key.
This dialogue box has 3 elements, consisting of:
Balance controls, volume controls and mute checkboxes.
Depending on your setup, youâ?Tll find each of these elements for such
things as:
Volume, wave, microphone, synth,CD, line in, etc.
Use the tab and shift tab combinations to move through and back through
the various controls.
The mute checkboxes, can be adjusted with the spacebar â?" you should be
told the status of the checkbox.
You can perform additional functions by pressing the alt key, which brings
up a very simple menu, consisting of properties and exit. Itâ?Ts worth
exploring properties, wich is divided into playback and recording tabs.
NOTE: the recording properties tab, also has an advanced button, which
allows you to boost your microphone sensitivity â?" I find this essential
for Skype.
You can use the jaws key plus f1 to gain jaws help, or simply f1 for
windows help in any of the controls described.
Finally: you can test your Skype settings by typing:
echo 123 followed by the enter key, and listening to the resulting
message.
Hope this helps.

Hi All,
I have today installed Skype and I am fairing not too bad with it!
I have however appeared unintentionally to have muted my external
microphone!
I can work with the internal one but the sounds can be a bit wowy!
Could someone please let me know how to unmute the microphone?
Thanks,
Tony.
