skype and vista 64 bit

[stopthekilling77]

must be missing something here, i want to use vista for everything now, but skype just isnt working on it.

i have a generic mic that came with the webcam (phillips spc325nc/27) and it recognizes there IS a mic, but it wont register any sound...

any ideas?

Have you tried running it in administer mode?

I don't know much about Vista, but first check if you have the latest version of Skype.
Then check if your microphone is working properly, such as trying to record your voice with the Sound Recorder of windows
Then check your Sound and Audio Devices via Control Panel or something to see if there's any setting to configure the microphone.

im beginning to think i need a new mic cause this ones volume level has been cut down SEVERELY even in XP.

x.x i guess i need to try another mic to be sure

Talking to a friend of mine who has vista 64 bit too, he is having major problems with getting a mic to work in vista, he is pretty sure its his sound card but cant afford a new one, and his motherboard doesnt have onboard..... are you using a sound card?

yeah, but its the one that came with my board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813131073

is the sound card completely compatible with vista? Some of the creative ones i have seen when you purchase them they ask if you are using vista because it wont run properly with it, Can i ask does the mic work in any other programs?
