My external headset microphone suddenly stopped working while talking on Skype. The audio works fine but no one can hear me. Replacing the mic did not help. I wonder if I have hit a key which knocked it out?

I have bought an external microphone A4tech HS-200 (not an USB one), that has no drivers (accordind to the manufacturer), in order to use Skype, but my laptop Toshiba Satelite A50-106 doesn't record the sounds. I have tried to play with the "Sounds and Multimedia" in Control Panel (based on the recommendation found on Skype official site). Now the question is.....can I do something about ity??? or maybe my laptop doesn't have a appropriate sound card????

Well after 98 minutes of on hold the technician explained to me that the A215-S5837 without the webcam option does not have an internal microphone. Even though the sound card has the option for it the actual microphone hardware is not installed in the laptop! Oh well off to the store. It was still a good deal!

Most laptops sound control is found by going to Control Panel, Sounds and then clicking Mute in the box of the function you'd like to mute. Sometimes a speaker is down in the system tray in the lower right near your clock. Double clicking on that will open the same controls. If there is a button on the laptop itself, it is generally a "no sound" muting that I don't believe has anything to do with the internal microphone. HTH

go to the volume control panel (small speaker icon bottom right) and look for Options-Properties-Recording...is the microphone clicked on?
