Let's talk about what excites manyusers of a program such as Skype. Amplifying the microphone "XP" is a painful problem for many. We will be engaged in the setup of AS 97 (compatible codec). Let's consider the algorithm of actions on an example with the integrated sound card "Intel". Although the principle of operation for other codecs is similar.
So, to perform the amplification of the microphone, weshould open a standard sound mixer. This is done by double clicking on the icon of the speaker that is in the tray. If you do not observe such an icon, open the start menu, from there go to the control panel, where you will need to select a section of sounds and audio devices. In the window that appears, check the box next to the icon in the taskbar.
Now, to make the microphone gain,it is necessary to enter the settings menu in the window of your mixer for the volume. There it is necessary to put a marker in front of displaying additional options. Without them, the amplification of the microphone will not be possible.
After that you need to go to the settings of the mixerfor writing. To do this, you must go to the options section, where you click on the properties and select the entry. Further in the list of inputs that will be reflected, there should be a "check mark" opposite the microphone or microphone input.
After that, you press the button "Ok" and findits microphone input. Now it is possible to adjust the input level, which is necessary to amplify the microphone. The item has different names, but the action is the same (your device is amplified after the indicated manipulations by twenty decibels).
It should be noted that some drivers"Rialtek" does not contain buttons in your software shells under the volume level of your microphone. There may be an erroneous impression that it is not foreseen. But this is not so. It is present (only in the mixer for volume settings).
If you did all this, and the expected resultdid not receive, then in this case you need to install a webcam equipped with an integrated microphone. If your operating camera suits you, then, in any case, it is worth changing the microphone. Alternatively, you can buy a sound card that has a separate microphone input. I advise you to pay attention to the microphones that have a USB-plug. There is also a specific program for amplifying the microphone, however, if your hardware is not of the best quality, then one software will not solve your problem.
Finally, I will tell you how to checkwhat your interlocutor hears. In "Skype" there is a special service for this, called "Echo / Audio Verification Service". Every user who installed this program on his computer, in the contact sheet, it is available initially. Therefore, to check the connection, just call this contact and follow the instructions that you will tell a sweet female voice. If you are satisfied with the quality of the communication, then we communicate, if not - we make the necessary adjustments and corrections. If at the software level nothing happens, you need, as mentioned above, to change the equipment.
