If you can't record using a microphone or if your chat partner cannot hear what you're saying, here's the solution: o Check whether the microphone is properly connected. Its pin should be connected to the jack having a pink ring around it in the audio panel.

o After verifying the connection, double-click on the volume icon in the system tray at the bottom-right hand corner of the desktop to bring up the 'volume control' dialog box.
