Basiclally, the microphone doesn't seem to be connecting to the computer. My voice can't be heard on the test call. I've tried changing the settings in Skype itself and on hte computer. The computer does seem to recognise that the microphone is there. Is it possible that the actual hole that the mic lead slips into is damaged? Derbhile
