go in control panel, sounds and audio devices, control tap to audio, tap to 
sound recording device, make sure that's set right, then sound recording 
volume and make sure the right jack is selected. Skype changes everything 
around on you unless you check the box in the advanced options to tell it 
not to adjust your audio properties, so if you, like me, have your mic 
plugged in to the front port of the sound blaster card, I don't know if you 
have that or not, but if you do, you have to uncheck that thing in skype and 
set it in the recording volume where I said to go before, and you'll have to 
change that every time if you don't fix that setting in skype. It's the most 
annoying setting ever for me though I'm sure a newbie might like it.
