But is there really no utility or something that can reset the soundcard or
somehow undo what has been done? My dad's iether going to kill me or my
brother, I somehow need to work out what's wrong. The checkbox of the
microphone for some reason keeps on going back to mute, so is there some other
box that needs to be unchecked or checked to stop this? I'm really not sure
what settings have been changed or what to change?

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.

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
