Try the microphone on another system to verify it works .... if it does then repost

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525. I used Skype ages ago and returned to it a couple of days ago. No one could hear me. I researched for 20 hours, downloading drivers, checking EVERY setting possible and NOW have got the ANSWER. The wires in the Microphone Array are fatigued. My microphone works perfectly when I tilt my lcd screen half way down. Go to Webcam Manager, Tools, Audio controls, the microphone has 2 bars which go green when you talk into it. Tilt your screen and watch the bars go up and down. Not the answer you probably wanted but as long as you skype with your screen half tilted everything is good to go

go to your volume control usually there is a icon of a speaker at the bottom left of your screen right click it and open volume control and make sure that your mic is not muted.

check your cpu port for microphone to motherbord.
or may be microphone may be faulty.

is this a usb or standard type of mic e-mail me at [email protected]

Take it back and ask for a replacement

Hi,
Do you Have Any settings Via Control Panel Or Similar, to check to see if the mic isn,t Muted ?
I,m not too up on Vista but have experience With 95/98/2000 And XP.
I,d also assume that there is Troubleshooting facility with Vista.
Also Is the microphone plugged into the correct Jack/Socket ?
