    I just got a new P1 SXS37. The machine is great, but just today I tried to use the built in Mic in a couple of different applications (Skype and some built in Windows components). I can see that my voice is being recognized, but barely, and playback is choppy and not really understandable).

    I'm sitting at the laptop and the mic is in the bezel of the screen. I know a headset will usually give the best sound, but I've used other webcam mics before and the quality has been fine. Is there any settings I should be looking for in control panel to turn up the sensitivity?
