Windows 7. I wish to increase microphone volume on my laptop.
On Skype, I have to shout loud!
Thanks

I suggest you buy some headphones with a mic. Also you could try going in control panel - hardware and sound - sound - recording - select your MIC and click properties - go to levels and increase the mic boost. You should also look into skype settings.

Right click the volume icon on your task bar, click on recording devices, right click on your microphone and click properties, and change the level from there.
You should also change the recording level from your skype settings.
Turn auto adjust off if your mic goes back to a lower level.
