Hi,

I recently registered with Skype and another VoIP services. So far, it worked. Today, I cannot hear myself and the other person cannot hear me either. with any of them. I didn't make any change in my VoIP settings.

I went to Programs -> acessories -> entertainment -> volume controls, and I see my microphone is set at Mute. I unchecked it, but it comes back to mute every time.

Can you tell me why, and what I can do to be able to use my services? I use an external headset with mic.

This is off-topic in this group, but Skype and presumeably other similar
programs have setup menus that allow you to select the audio input and
output devices to use. Look under "tools" or "preferences".
