Hi there, Tell your friend to do the following: 1. Press Windows key and type Sound into the Start Search field. Then press down arrow until he hears Sound. Press Enter. 2. At the Sound dialog, press CTRL+Tab to go to Recording Tab. Press Up and Down arrow to select Microphone then press Tab until he hears Properties. Press Enter. 3. Press CTRL+TAB to go to levels page. Press Tab until he hears Microphone button. Press Left or Right arrow to adjust it to around 80% then pres Tab until he hears OK button. Press Enter. 4. Press TAB until he hears OK and press Enter. You are done. I would suggest to him to use Skype Call Testing Service to see if his microphone is working or not.

I use Windows XP and JAWS. When we attempt to communicate by voice over Skype or Windows Live Messenger, he can hear me, but I can't hear him. What does my friend have to configure in Windows Vista so I can hear him without disturbing the operation of JAWS?
