Please help me! I was calling a friend on skype, and he said my mic wasnt working, this was the first time i tried to skype. (new pc).. So i went to Start > Sound and set microphone to 100, now it is making EXTREME beeping sound that wont stop, i quickly turned it off with the off button on the keyboard, tried to reboot, but still there, and it wont start!! PLEASE GOD HELP ME! Ive tried to restore to earlier date, but it fails on all!
 
I the loud BEEP is from the speakers, Try to disconnect the mic. If it goes away, you need to mute it on the playback settings(Speakers -> Properties -> Levels -> Pink/Rear Pink or Mic depending on the sound card, mute that).

All adjustments have to be made under Recording and not Playback.
 
Do you have the Realtek HD audio manager installed? does it by any chance see the mic?

I use just a mic while it is on a headset, the headset is not connected.

If you right click, you may have an option to show disabled devices. See if you have mic in disabled.

What are your full system specs?
 
And does it see a mic attached to the system?

I was asking for full specs just in case you need a driver update.

You should be able to see the mic and control the playback as well as recording volume from here. Note my playback is muted, this is to stop feedback with the speakers(the loud buzz you hear).
