Hi, all. I got a new HP Pavilion DV-7 4165 Entertainment Notebook a couple of months ago. On Christmas, we Skyped with a former exchange student from Germany - I couldn't hear her, so I put on a set of headphones we have and talked for an hour
Later, I realized that the computer has an integrated microphone with the webcam. I futzed around trying to make it work the way I wanted it to, and now the microphone is always on, creating feedback if I turn up the speakers and echoing things I say. I Googled and found a site that said pressing the Windows key with V was supposed to toggle the mike on and off, but it doesn't seem to work.
Any ideas on how to fix this? TIA. Oh, and Happy New Year!
