Hello -

 

went to Skype with Sis this evening and I could hear and see her - she could see but not hear me.

 

Had a look around and message = No Audio Input Device Found.

 

Had a look on the net and cant find a solution.

 

If anyone could steer me in the right direction I would be grateful.

 

every good wish,

 

David.

I worked this out myself.

 

Get into Hardware and Sound, then Manage Audio Devices.

 

So when you disable a device it disappears from the menu you are looking at. You have to enable it. Trouble is you cant enable it because you cant see it - its not there for you to right mouse click on. I went into speakers menu rather than microphone menu and right mouse clicked on a speaker icon and it gave me the option of showing everything that was disabled.So I clicked on show disabled devices I went back into microphone menu  and hey presto it was there and I could enable it. I tested it on a sound recording programme and it worked.

 

It hadnt gone anywhere , you just couldnt see it.

 

"No Audio Input Device Found" is very misleading - surely "Audio Input Device Disabled" would be better + why make the icon disappear anyway?!
