Instructions
Step 1
How do I turn on the microphone in Skype? Usually, the microphone turns on automatically when you download Skype and install it on your computer. But if this did not happen, then it is necessary to do the following. First, make sure the headset is connected to your computer, that is, check if you've connected the microphone correctly. To do this, look at the back of your computer. The microphone plug must be plugged into the pink jack.
Step 2
Second, check your Skype microphone settings. To do this, turn on Skype. From the taskbar at the top, select Tools. In the list of tasks that opens, click on the "Settings" option. A new window will open where you need to configure the sound by checking the appropriate box. All settings are made in manual mode, so read all menu items carefully.
Step 3
If this does not help, then diagnose the equipment. Go back to the taskbar in Skype. Select the Calls task. In the pop-up list, click on Sound Quality Details. A new window will open where you can enable the Sound Check Wizard. Left-click on the "Microphone" tab. The program will ask you to check if the microphone is responding to sounds. That is, say a few words and see if the green bar is flashing. If it blinks, then the microphone is fine.
Step 4
You can also test the microphone by making a test call. If you do not hear the playback of the words you said, then the microphone is defective. Then get a new one. As a rule, such devices are inexpensive, so go to a specialized computer store and consult with a specialist. If you have a laptop, then you need to take it to a service center for technical inspection.
