Microphone not working in Vista and Skype

[toolscollector]

I have Vista Home Premium OEMAct on my HP pavilion 6500 laptop, and I have Skype 3.6 installed.

Everything was working OK till couple of days ago, now the microphone, built in, it is not working anymore!

Any suggestion on what to do?

Thank you

Where is the microphone "built in". I'm not sure I understand this bit.

Sorry Clevo. Built in the laptop, not an external one attached to a Jack.

Actually there are two microphone, built in into the screen, and when I check the diagnostic, skype, tools, options, recording device, it indicates\; working!!!, but when I do the test call, on Skype, there is no sound of my voice in the playback!!!

I am buffled, and think that perhaps it is a matter of one software program, having interference with Skype????

Just a supposition??

Hope to hear of someone having experienced similar problem and having found the solution!!

Thank you all for your help!!
