Hmmm. Not sure Terry I'm afraid. But you couldn't possibly have muted your microphone from within the Skype menus? I think Skype used to have the push to talk feature but not any more, is that true? So you can't have that feature enabled... Sorry I couldn't be of any more help.

The other two options, are my on board conexant speakers and built in microphone, a reference to total recorder. In the audio set up in sounds and audio devices, in control panel, its highlighted to use the conexant. I've tried highlighting the conexant in skype, and tried highlighting the default, neither work.

If you're using a USB mic then it should show up as an Audio device along with your computer's soundcard.

I've updated my sound drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled them, done the same with skype, can't figure it out. As I say, msn works. Apart from what other applications I have installed, the only ones that are specifically related to recording issues, are, Gold Wave, and total recorder. I have things like winamp, media player, but they shouldn't play any part in this. Any other ideas? Terry
