Alright, so I have this nice logitech microphone. Its been WORKING fine forever but more recently I started to use it more often especially on skype. However what happens is when I get into a call with someone I have to go to my volume control. Which microphone is ALWAYS checked as mute. After I UNCHECK it I have to go to "Advanced" and uncheck "Alternate Microphone". Because when my microphone is unmuted but alternate microphone is checked it makes usually loud beeping noises that annoys my contacts and also makes it so I cant hear what they say till I fix. However after I uncheck the Alternate Microphone, and press close out of the windows. If not immediatly, shortly after I do this it goes back checked. Occasionally after I repeat the processes enough, it may actually work.

This is too complicated and annoying to do everytime I want to talk to someone. So what can I do to fix this? My hardware is all working fine, so I think its something internal. Do sound cards even have drivers? Would that be the problem? It says my sound is "C Media Wave Device" or something of the sort.

I just want to make it so if I call someone via Skype or use my mic anytime that it works without doing anything and works fine. The only thing I should worry about is if I unmuted it on the actual piece on the mic itself.Have you tried another mic?

If the mic isn't USB I doubt it is what is CAUSING it.

Could be being caused by any number of peices of SOFTWARE including the soundcard drivers or rather the accompanying software that ussually comes with it for configuring.

You don't by any chance have another mic connected be that explcitly or in the form of a web cam or similar device with one built in.

If so this may be taking precedence over the other...

Just a THOUGHT...
