    Hi,
    I have a Sony VAIO VGN-NR- laptop and found a very strange mic problem. Whenever I use the internal mic the sound/voice is being transferred directly to the speakers and never recorded. This is especially annoying when trying to use Skype - you hear your own voice through your speakers but it is never transmitted to the recipient... :confused:
    Does anyone know what is the problem?
    Thanx in advance.

    So, not a single soul here who experienced similar issues?
    Anyone with VAIO VGN-NR series? :confused:

    Tried Vista, W7 Ultimate and Ubuntu (3 latest versions).
    Used the latest drivers for Vista from SONY, also default W7 update driver, - all with the same result. External mic is working ok, it's only the internal and its output directly to the speakers (like an echo sound) driving me crazy.
    So far it looks like a hardware issue to me but was hoping someone had a similar experience here and could help. :confused:
