I am trying to get my microphone to work with skype but without any luck.
Everytime i plug in the headset it comes up line in but not mic? I can hear okay but the mic does not work and was wondering if its because the system does not recognize the mic connection?
I have checked every control box I can find,nothing muted everything checked but the recording panel has volume conrol active but separate mic volume control inactive along with cd,line volume + stero mix, Is this how it should be?
I have used test hardware and no mic volume is displayed when testing mic so I have run out of ideas and would appreciate some guidance in this matter.

thank you

Rch1231,
I performed test,no sound indicated from mic and jacks are in correct sockets. One point I think worth noting is that on when I connect mic jack it is indicated as line in connection yet there is a mic connection indicator on the panel which displays connection and disconnection of jacks. whats the differnce between a line in connection and mic connection? Is the system not recgnizing a mic connection?
