My mike shows as muted while operating skype

When you move your cursor to the lower part of the skype (picture) screen/frame, you'll see icons showing up ... "camera", "microphone" "plus sign" & (red) phone handle.

If you see a slash across the "microphone" icon, it means you're on mute. Just move your cursor to that icon and click on it to toggle it (out of mute)

ok..we can make this work...can you open your control panel and then audio settings? check that first.

On the new skype the mute and video buttons are moved around. Just make sure that you are not accidentally muting yourself and check whether the video button turns you camera on and off.

If neither of these are the problem, go into the skype preferences and click the Audio/Video tab and check that your audio and video adapters are correct in the drop down menus.

Hi,

If you working on Windows VIsta and you Messenger is Messenger 9.
It might have an issue with voice. Try installing ..TSP Codec (Use Google Search). Once installed you will be able to use your mic with Yahoo.
If not you might have to change your mic. Does it work on your computer?
Thanks

Sometimes programs like Skype will lose the Mic settings and chose another input channel. Check your operating system's audio settings under something similar to "Recording" and see if microphone is checkboxed and turned up. Also, make sure it is not muted on Skype and/or the operating system.

If you have Windows XP, for example, look for the audio settings icon (little speaker) just left of clock area. Open and go to "options". Choose "properties" then "Recording". Look that your microphone is "Selected" with a checkbox and is turned up. To hear yourself during this, you will need to go back and choose "Playback" instead of "Recording" and de-select "mute" (if checked) for microphone and turn it up to see if you hear yourself talking over the speakers/headphones.

Also, check the Skype settings for microphone and that Skype has the correct sound device selected for input - being your microphone and not another device.

Also make sure that there is not a manual, physical volume adjustment for the microphone on the laptop case itself. Could even be a mute button.

Reinstall your sound card drivers.Reboot the PC.Then reinstall Skype.Then setup Skype with the type of mic that you have.

in that cam pause will be their u can click the button it can be mute

Normal 0 Go to Control Panel and Click on Sounds, Click on Audio, then Click on the Microphone. Then Click on the drop down and select Camera Microphone.
Click OK and it should work.
Hope this helps. Bud

sure...open control panel..go to sounds..open the sound manager..check to see if the mike is muted..uncheck that box..you can also adjust the settings from there, usually

Normal 0 After you install Skype and have it operational with your ID. Go to "TOOLS", click on "OPTIONS," Then go to "Audio Settings" and click on it. Make sure both the Microphone and Speaker's are correctly chosen. Then "make a free test call." Wait till the voice tells you to record. Then when finished talking wait for the test persons voice to insure your audio transmission is working. Then go back to options and test your video settings. Click on Video Settings and proceed to set up you video camera. Also, you can visit this site for additional information to setup video.
