Steve Nutt suggested the other day that I should uncheck the box in Tools,
Options, Audio Sounds, when using Skype. That did it for me as that seemed to
be causing the problem.

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.

Subject: [access-uk] Problems setting up microphone
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
