i'm running windows 7 on bootcamp. on my skype version 4.0 i test the mic on the control panel is ok but when on skype it isnt. i have no idea why? when i'm on call with my friends they cant hear me speak but when i play music through youtube they can hear me. why is it so? my hardware is cirrus logic. this is weird? is there some configurations wrong? help!

Are you looking into the Audio Settings under Options... as well?

i tried audio settings under skype and also under control panel. when i talk the microphone volume is moving but not on skype i have no idea but weird thing is i play music on youtube and my friend can hear that but not my voice. its so stupid!

i had the same problem too!! it was very frustrating at the time......

make sure you have the latest version of Skype 4.2.xxx
go to Control Panel>Ease of Access>Start speech recognition
it should work after that, if not go into skype and play with mic settings again

if not use a headset while u work it out, skype worked with a headset


hope it works!!

What i did

What you do is:
- Go to Control Panel
- Go to Speech Recognition
- Go to Advanced Speech Options
- Go to Audio input
- Go to tab Communications
- Click: Do nothing
Worked for me, i also have a macbook pro, i installed bootcamp too. Now skype works fine
Let me know if it works

If you mic is not usb powered it won't get power in bootcamp, major flaw, but thats just how it is. It simply will not work.
