Good, well done Andy. I haven't read much mail yet as I'm officially not in at the moment (doing something else) but just saw this so am responding quickly.

Thanks Carol - as you've probably spotted, I'm all set up now, so time to play!

You can always call me. 0118 3765358. | | (I'm around tonight and tomorrow evening, but not during the day tomorrow.) | | OK, Andy, just use the Windows Volume control. If you don't find it in your | Systray you should find it under Accessories, entertainment, volume control. | | Open the volume control and work your way round with the tab. (This is the | playback volume by the way). You should have everything not checked (so not | muted) apart from your microphone which should be muted. Failure to do this | will result in loud squealing sounds coming through your speakers/headphones | when you plug in a mic. | | Now go to Properties with Alt+P. Work your way around (again with tab) | until you reach "Adjust volume for . . ." This will probably read Playback, | but you want to arrow down to "Recording". | | Tab again and you'll have listed those things which you want to see.| They'll be checked. Make sure your microphone is checked in that list, or| you won't see it to alter the settings. | | Once you hit OK, you can then work round to the microphone volume. | Sometimes - and pretty often - the setting should not be "high" as in 90| whatever but lower, as in "10 percent". It's some peculiarity with whichis | "high" and which is "low" I think and these often go the opposite way to the | way you think they should. I have mine currently at 8 percent. | | That's a bit rough, because these controls are better understood as you work | through them and the best I can do currently in my head, but see if this | helps you. || Contact me again privately if you wish more help. I'll give what I can -of | course. | | -- | Carol | carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx | | | | || ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Andy Collins" <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>| To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> | Sent: Saturday, July 07, 2007 9:14 PM | Subject: [access-uk] Connecting a Mic | | | > 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 ableto| > hear others through my speakers or headphones, but they wouldn't be able| > to | > hear me! | > | > What do I need to do?
