    Hey guys

    I tried skype today with a friend, but my alienware m17xr4 dual microphone doesnt work?
    How come, i have checked in settings and it looks ok except it says not connected. But how can I connect it when it is a build in microphone :p?
    I haave installed the recon 3Di sound driver, should I install anything else?

    Anyone know how to solve this problem?

    Regards from Rasmus

    The function key should work. In the case it doesn't try a different application.
