There are two different kinds of computer microphones, dynamic and
capacitance. You might have the wrong type. The quickest way to test a
mic is with the Windows tool "Sound Recorder" (start / programs /
accessories / multimedia (or "Entertainment" ) / sound recorder on MOST
computers).

On many Toshiba laptops, the power section is not a stand alone program
but rather a tab(s) added to the "Power Management" applet in Control Panel.
