Hi,

my internal microphone is not working properly. When skyping or recording via Photo booth for example, my voice seems like it's very far away, and I have to literally have my mouth next to the mic (and speak very loudly) for anyone to hear me at all.

I went into the system preferences, put the entry level volume all the way up, checked off the noise reduction option, but still nothing. I also reset the PRAM, but nothing changed. One thing that's odd is that the microphone perfectly detects when I touch the computer or type (the blue bar moves like crazy), but almost nothing when I'm almost yelling into the mic.

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
