Logitech microphone using a logitech mic with skype and i can hear the other party, however, they cannot hear me. it used to work. they may hear me for a couple of words and then i die off. any help would be appreciated. thanks

Assuming you are using Windows 7
<Start>, <Cotrol Panel>, <Ease of Access>, <Speech Recognition>, <Set up Microphone> Follow prompts and instructions. Once your Microphone is set up, your Skype will work.

You can by a headset such as this Logitech at Wal Mart: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/webcam-communications/internet-headsets-phones/devices/349

I have two of these headsets. They're comfortable, easy to use, have great sound and voice transmission. They also have an inline on/off switch and volume control. On my laptop this item plugs into the speaker and the mic port on the front. They plugs are color coded for added convenience.

Hi Bronwyn,

What you need to do is to open Skype and go into the Preferences or Options and select Audio. There is a drop down menu to select what audio (microphone) you want to use. There should be a selection there for the Logitech webcam. (Most webcams have a mic in them.)

The other option would be to get an external microphone and connect it to the proper connector on the front or back of your computer and select it from the menu.

Thanks for using Fixya.

Well in SKype as i remember u have to select a Video device and a Microphone.. make sure u have the same camera selected for sound as well as for video

in the skype properties choose sound devices and make sure that ur mic you are using through the exact port and sound card are the ones checked and marked by the skype software

in skype go to tools>options>audio setting make sue the microphone is logitech and the green bars should start moving as you talk.
if no logitech appears or the mic is not producing sound. call logitech for warranty info. if the mic is producing sound below is "make a free skype test call" to see if the program is transmitting.

You need to check if the mic/s is working?
Are you certain the Logitech webcam has a built-in mic?
To check if the mic works go to Start - All programs - Accessories - Entertainment - Sound Recorder and test record your voice and play back to check, also try it with the laptop's built-in mic (if it has one) and the Logitech mic.
If both mics work then you have a choice of which one you can use in Skype, most likely the best one would be the Logitech one.

You need to configure your audio settings in Skype.
When you open Skype click on Tools - Options - Audio Settings and click on Select Microphone and select the microphone you are using and save the setting.

If you still have problems get back to me with all details and error messages.

You mean "I can hear the other party but they cant hear me"

Skype probably didnt change your microphone.

Go to Skype Tools>Options>General>Audio Settings and on the Microphone dropdown menu, make sure your headset is selected. If it's installed correctly and you talk into it, you should see the volume bar start moving. Click save and start talking!

This is assuming you've already gone into sound proporties in windows and made your headset the default microphone and checked the volume settings on it.

I read another post that said to go to Logitech itself for up-dates. This I did......downloaded all new drivers, etc. (the disc that comes with the cam must be out of date !). Then when that was done, I went back on Skype and where you do a 'voice test' I was able to this time around to "choose" my webcam - this was not coming up before at all. So in doing that it activated the mic on the webcam and all was OK. We seniors are supposed to be savvy with the forever changing world of electronic devices today! (LOL)

you need to use the skype set-up call for cam and mic.RICHARDM69
