Hi, yeahh so my laptop has one of those mic thigs. its been working just fine until the other day.

I thought that my modem was a slow piece of junk and went out and bought an external 56k us robotics fax modem to use.

i guess the key word is fax modem, not the voice modem that is in my computer already.

well since installing it, my mic will not work on yahoo or skype or anything.

please, help , im getting ready to blow this up!!!!!

Is the mic built into the laptop or is it an add on? What kind of laptop is it?

yeah it is built into the laptop, which is a piece of junk acer aspire 3000.

First of all I know you probably already checked but just in case (I know I tend to miss the obvious at times), did you make sure the mic is not on mute? If so then it sounds like a hardware problem. Go to your device manager, and look at the sound driver to see if it is running properly. If not then you may need to reinstall the driver. Which should be available online from Acer.

If all is fine there then I would suggest a registry cleaner to clean out any corrupted files that you may have. Could be a simple DLL file gone bad.

Try this free program: http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/

I have found it helpful in the past.

Good luck and I hope this helps!

Thanks for the advice and download,

will let you and adj no how it all worked out.
