So I hope I'm putting this in the right forums, and apologizes if I'm not. In any case, I'm currently running a somewhat low end ASUS Laptop, and while the laptop gets the job done, I think at some point the built in speakers burnt out. To remedy that, I've bought another pair of speakers, which work without any problems - I assume that means this is more a built-in speaker thing and less a sound-card thing. However, I've come across a problem now with the mic during my recent attempts to talk with friends and family on Skype - namely, it doesn't work. If I unplug the speakers (thus leaving me with no sound), the onboard mic magically works again, so I'm at a loss as to what to do. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

This Laptop is running Windows 8, in case it makes a difference.

Thanks in advance!


EDIT: Anyone with any idea what I could try? Would really help ,and it's concerning not being able to talk to family over Skype
