Hi, I been using Skype for sometime now and the one thing I keep getting is when I use my mic to talk with friends and play games They hear my game and not me.

I use Windows xp the old vision and I don't know what to do.

can someone help me?
 
Just make sure that in the sound settings it's set to your microphone and not something like "What U Hear".
 
Assuming you're running the newest version of Skype (not the Windows 8 app version)

Tools > Options > Audio Settings > Change Microphone to whatever your device is called. It should have a green status bar that moves when you talk.

In 7, if you go to start, control panel, classic view, sound, recording, and set the mic for default communication and default settings, and disable stereo mix if need be.

I don't have the sound in control panel and can't do advanced for input, sorry if I'm a big pain in the neck but if there was a way to get sound I would do that now.

Right, what OS are you running. If it is Windows Vista/7/8, then if you go to control panel, and go to categories (7 and 8) or classic view on the top left in vista, you should have it there.

If it is something older, or Linux, it will be under sound and audio or something.

Linux-Windows? I haven't heard of that one. If you go to Sound and Audio Devices, voice, default recording, and change it to mic, what happens. I am having to use a Windows XP simulator off of Google to walk you through, because it is a bit patchy.

Thank you for all your help but some how I fixed it on my own by going in to my Realtek HD Sound Effect Manager and to Mixer then clicking on the chain thing then click the Enable recording multi-streaming and also the Enable playback multi-streaming. I'm really sorry for wasting your time but If someone have the same problem you can tell them to fix it how I did. I'm still sorry about wasting your time but if something happen again I'll try harder this time to fix, and again I'm sorry for wasting your time, also thanks a lot.
 
Don't worry about it. I am glad you fixed it.

If I didn't want people using my spare time on here to get help with problems, then I wouldn't try to help. I enjoy helping :) The realtek settings would have been my next guess as I had this problem several years ago :)

Anti.
