    Hi Izzy,

    If the mike is actually producing the sound you are hearing then it is receiving an audio signal. Dynamic mikes are really just small speakers. If you are in an output port then maybe you are set up for Surround Sound. Check bios and audio setups and set for whatever you need. Mike should be in MIC. MAYBE!

    Good Luck, Jim

    Hi again Izzy,

    OOPS! I was asleep on that one. You did say it was the built in Mike. Sorry.

    thanks for the reply Jim, it worked out ok in the end, the windows mic test wizard was giving me the awful sound when i tried to redord voice, however when i tried a skype test call all was ok, though not as loud as i wished, so i think the wizard test was getting feedback from the pc speakers. the only other strange thing now with the laptop is the mouse pad doesnt work with the battery connected, as soon as you take out the battery the mouse pad works ! not a clue why but not a problem, thanks again for the reply, izzyecho.:)
