If you do a test call by entering echo123 in the edit box and press enter, you will be invited to make a 10 second test, this will then be played back to you so you can tell if your mic level is OK.

Last sunday evening, I called my friend and could hardly hear her. We have been talking regularly for well over a year with no problems like this. Other chat programs we use are not affected. She tried reinstalling Skype but to no avail. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
