Steve, you're right, although I'd seen those audio settings, I hadn't paid them 
any attention because Skype had always worked perfectly for me.  However, this 
has not been the case with the latest version.

On looking at this, that check box is already checked.  I'm confused, because 
there are about three combo boxes which have two options, one being Windows 
Default device and the other C-Media Wave.  What should these be set to then?

  Hi Carol,

   

  In Skype Tools, Options, in the Audio Settings, there is a checkbox that says 
something like Allow Skype to adjust your audio settings.  Uncheck this and 
you'll be OK.  It's been there in all versions, but you just never noticed it 
<Smile>.

   

  All the best

   

  Steve

  Have you recently updated Skype to the latest version, by any chance?  
(That's Version 3.5.0.202 I think)?  I ask because I've been having problems 
with my volume control settings and it seems that they keep going out whilst on 
Skype and can't really get to the bottom of it.

   

  When you're recording via the mic, my mic volume setting on playback is muted 
and in the Recording settings is checked.  That is working for me.

   

  HTH:

    Hi guys, 

    I'm hoping someone can help me here, I don't know what setting to change. 
I've been using a microphone ok, so it's not anything to do with the hardware 
itself. Someone has unfortunately changed one of the settings on this computer, 
so that, when I speak into the microphone to test it, as the recording I get 
JAWS speaking back to me, and the microphone's not working. The checkbox in 
volume control by mute microphone is not checked, but it seems to me that there 
is some or other setting that's not right, even when I try and use the echo 
test, instead of my speech into the Microphone, I just hear this recording of 
JAWS repeating what it has said. The Microphone is plugged into the correct 
jack, it's actually a sort of headset thing. 

    Thanks 

    Ari
