Sound problem on mic

mat58 · 26-10-2006, 01:22 PM

I have this sound problem when i use the mic on msn or skype that you have to have your mouth right on the mouth piece to be heard. If you move away slightly the other person cannot hear you only background noise. I think i have it set up ok as followed skpe instructions and i have tried it with two different makes of mic with the same results. any ideas?
Many thanks in advance

Go to the volume control, enable advanced controls in options (i think thats it) and then enable "mic boost".

Have tried all the volume settings and mic boosts and even tried the hardware test but not getting anything!
