SKYPE MICROPHONE PROBLEM
If the person cannot hear you then, either your microphonedriver not installed or not working OR the microphone is not configured inSkype.
To test your microphone then click on Start - All Programs - Accessories -Entertainment - Sound recorder. Then record your voice and then play it back.If this is OK then the microphone need to be configured in Skype.
To configure the microphone - Open Skype - Tools - Options -Audio Settings for the Microphone THEN click on Save.

There are two main sources windows uses for Audio In (what you are trying to do) usually there is a Mic or audio in port (headphone jack) and there is a built in microphone. You may need to tell windows to listen to the built in microphone instead of the mic in port on the laptop. To do this right click the speaker icon in your system tray (down near the time) and click on Recording devices. If you are using windows 7 you will see your available recording devices with a sound bar next to them and you will see movement on the sound bar as you make noise. Just make sure you set your default device to the internal microphone here and you should be all set.

The Toshiba Satellite C655 does not have a built in microphone, but it does have a mono microphone jack.
The following website has microphones that are compatible with the microphone jack. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007675%20600011221&IsNodeId=1&name=3.5mm
You may verify at Toshiba's C655 website. It says "No Webcam and microphone built into LCD bezel". http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/satellite/C650/C655-S5049
Compared with the L670. It says "Webcam and microphone built into LCD bezel". http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/satellite-pro/L670/L670-EZ1710
I hope this answers your question.

Most laptops do have Microphones built in. I do not know for definate that your laptop does, but you can easily test it to find out.

1. Go to the volume control (double click the speaker icon near the clock on the taskbar), go to recording properties and select microphone as the recording source and set the slider to about 80%.

2. Bring up microsoft sound recorder (its in the start menu somewhere) and click record... when you speak you should see a voice print appear in the sound recorder window.

If you do not see a voiceprint, then you probably dont have a built in microphone, but if you do see a voiceprint as you speak then you do have a microphone built in and you can record into your powerpoint shows to your hearts content.

Hope this helps!

Click Start/All Programs/Accessories/Sound Recorder. Click Start Recording and talk to your computer in a normal voice. When you finish click Stop Recording. Type in a file name and click save. Open the file and play it. If it works you have a built in mike, otherwise buy yourself an external, which I recommend anyway, because the built in mikes are generally not good enough for voice recognition or VOIP.

Is your microphone built-in or external?
To test your microphone click on the record program to test it.
It is located in - Start - Accessories - Entertainment - Sound recorder.
Record your voice and play back to test.

First make sure your microphone is pluged into the right input (the Toshiba Satelite doesn't have a built in microphone) - then try these steps:
To adjust the volume for your microphone in Windows Vista, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, type mmsys.cpl in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER. 2. In the Sound dialog box, click the Recording tab. 3. Click Microphone, and then click Properties. Note Make sure that Working appears under Microphone. If Working does not appear, click Microphone, and then click Set Default. 4. Click the Custom tab. 5. Select or clear the Microphone – 20dB Boost check box. 6. Click the Levels tab. 7. Adjust the volume slider to the level that you want, and then click OK. 8. Click OK to close the Sound dialog box.



Let me know if this helps!

You need to check that all of your sound devices are enabled. Most laptops will shut down certain devices when on battery to conserve power.

There are setting available to alter the microphone gain in the sound settings part of the control panel. Under Sounds and Audio Devices Properties. Check the sound recording section under audio, make sure the microphone is enabled and that the volume slider is not at minimum. Under XP there is a test hardware button that should help.

Use a cable running from the headphone jack on the recorder into your PC microphone jack. Then you can capture the audio using Windows MovieMaker software that comes with Windows XP. I have done this and it worked perfectly.
