Well, I consider my self to be pretty good when it comes to PC's but this on has me baffled.

I recently downloaded skype. When I spoke to people they said my voice was clear but the level was very low. After much checking or drivers & swapping of soundcards, It turn out to be the recording level for the mic.

I know what your gonna say.........

check the recording level for your mic, right? I did, and I set it as high as it would go, even switched on the mic boost. Thats when I noticed that the recording slide controls dont actually do anything. In fact, the entire recording setting system is dead....yeah....enabled, but dead.

If I mute the mic input in the recording section, I still hear it. If I move the mic recording level slider to the bottom, I still hear it. If I move the recording and playback levels to the top, and activate mic boost it should be rattling the windows right....no.

In short, I have tried everything I can think of and none of it makes any difference.

Pulling my hair out here....need help.

EDIT

After all this it turns out to be skype thats at fault. nvm folks, thanks to all those on IRC who helped me figure this out.
