Hi, I am a regular user of Skype which until now has worked perfectly, but a
few days ago the sound in the microphone started playing up i.e. I can hear
the incoming voice but no one can hear me. I have checked the audio setting
on Skype which seems OK, but I have noticed that the microphone is muted and
it is impossible to "unmute" it. I have tested the audio device several
times over, nothing seems to be wrong there and nothing is mute. I have
tried two different microphones so I don't think that the problem is there.
It is driving me crazy! Has anyone any idea what can be wrong?

sounds like you need to reinstall your sound drivers

Many thanks for your reply. I have Realtek High Definition Audio Driver
installed. Do I just remove it from the "Add or Remove Programs" and
reinstall it from a website? This may be a silly question, but when you say
drivers, is there more than one?

If it is the drivers, you uninstall them by

Start | Run <type in>
devmgmt.msc
<enter>

And uninstall them from there, also add/remove

But first you need drivers before you do anything, download and run
Everest

Will show you where you can download them from, or enough information
that you can google them.
