Vista - Microphone problems

Microphone problem: Recently when using Skype, my microphone is very scratchy when I am on wireless. I thought that it was the microphone. However, if I am on a hard wired connection, the microphone is fine. Also an external microphone works fine even when I am on the same wireless connection. I am in China, need to talk with family and could use some expert help.

I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop. My wife has the same computer and hers works fine on wireless. So I don’t feel that it is the wireless connection.

what sound card do you have?

or if you don't know what model # is you satellite?

you could just need a new updated driver for your sound card

Thanks for your reply. I am really a newbie. My Satellite U305. I don't know how to get an update driver. Again thanks for your investment of time.

U305-?????

need the rest and i can tell you exactly where to go to get the drivers.

Satellite U305 S5077

Again, Thanks for your help.

Hi i am also new to vista i talk on skype alot and my mic is constantly muting itself i keep having to go into control panel and having to unmute the mic how can i stop this from happening?what is cuasing it to mute?

I did do the down load, but still have a problem with the microphone not being as clear as it should. I will be back in the States next month and perhaps can get it repaired then. They can replace the microphone here in Beijing, but I am afraid that since it is a part of the cover, it may not be easy to put it back together.

Again thanks. Went to school in Minneapolis, so I remember Maple Grove.

I never had problems with auto muting. That is someone else. JLP
