Hello,

I have A BIG problem. When i want to call to someone using skype, my microphone AUTOMATICALLY BY !!HIMSELF !!
becomes muted. I know that he is working because there are noises when i touch him. After that i recieve the message that may be i am not connecting it into the right place. After that i "un-mute" it but the message stays and the one i am speaking does not hear me(neither i him...).I have tried to connect it in front or onto the back of my computer, but it was useless. Perhaps there are some options that i am not doing rightly...Thanks.

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 7.0

Go in your sound properties, then click on recording, microphone and then tick in the box below mic to enable it!

What if you are unable to check this box? I have tried this and it just doesn't allow you to check it

Hello

i disabled the mic the other day by accident and now it doesnt allow me to reset it again.
I've tried to restore the system from a point 2 days ago but it says that's been an error and the process cannot be completed.
Is there anything i can do?

Found it. Right click on the empty space where your mic should be in the recording properties and select "show disabled devices"
