Microphone HI I have windows vista premium and when i make a telephone call they can not hear me speaking intot he microphone i can hear my self speak, but the other party can not. Where in vista do i correct this? thanks

It sounds like the Micophone on your machine is 'clogged up' or dirty. it is a very small opening and can easily get blocked.
Clean it out and all will be fine. If not, then you need to get it to a Service Centre for repair.
Also ; GOOD telephone practice is to speak close to the microphone and not point the microphone away from your mouth.whilst talking.

Check the web-site of the manufacturer of the computer (and the motherboard) to see if they have updated device-drivers for Windows 7.

Are you sure that you've plugged the microphone into the 'pink' ("microphone-in") socket?

Open the "sound-mixer" application, and check that the "microphone-in" is not muted,
and that the slider is pushed to the maximum level.

Try a different microphone.

The computer headsets do not have sidetone in them, so you won't hear yourself talking into the microphone. There is no way to override this.

Good luck from Headsets Direct!

that will show you how to change the levels or enable the device

Hi
Start skype. Choose the menu calls then sound settings, select the device through which to speak: web camera, if you are using a built-in microphone or any other bluetooth headset if you are using or external microphone

Which headset is this, there is an A, B and C, button on the side, you may need to adjust that to set the headset for your phone.

Can you hear all other sounds,i mean sounds from music player?

Disable your internet security software and then try calling.

Have you tried running through the sound wizard in Control Panel and answering the questions based on what you have. Should fix the problem.

Go to your control panel in windows, you can get there from the start menu no matter what version you are on.

In the control panel, double click on Sound. In the new window, click on file and settings... or advanced I cant remember exactly which as I am using vista. There you should be able to select "Recording". Click ok.

Now you should be able to see where it says microphone, with a volume bar and so on. Put a check in the "Mute" box. This will not completely mute the microphone, it should only make it to where you will no longer hear it on your speakers.

Try talking to your friends now... It should work! I hope this helped to fix your problem, if not, let me know and we can try something else.

No one hears you because your microphone is probably set on mute. Go to your start menu, then go to control Panel, find Volume and Sound Control should be the icon that looks like a speaker. Double click that icon. From there Click Options and then properties, find the Microphone option and click the box to the left. This should add Microphone to your menu, then simply unmute your microphone.
