    Ive had my m17x R3 for about a month and been talking to people on skype no problems etc..Now today its not picking up any voice's. I go to Sound/Recording in the control panel and when i speak the little green bars dont move.

    The only thing I have dont differently Yesterday/Today is use my Xbox through the HDMI IN port.

    any suggestions?

    make sure you cam is working through the Fn Key + f9

    mic doesn't work if your cam is deactivated
