How does one set the microphone option in Skype to their headset if the headset isn't listed in the drop down menu? The only options I see in the drop down menu are my sound card and the audio capture filter from my graphics card. I'm asking this because ever since I got my new sound card my friend can hear himself and whatever game I'm playing.

Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (build 2600)
ASUS EN9600GSO PCI-Express x16 2.0 512mb
(ASUSTeK Audio Capture Filter) (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814121320)

These forums aren't too helpful either.

Which model number is the sound card?

Also, remove the card and use the onboard to check if it isn't your headset that isn't working like it should.

Right click your volume control button next to your clock
->choose recording devices
->set your mic to you default recording device
->skype should automatically use that

My headset w/ mic isn't in the list to use as default device and I have no idea why.

headset is plug and play or whatever it's called, no software, the other stuff is correctly installed.

Someone out there has to have a solution, I'm stumped on the matter.

I checked it on the motherboard sound, i could hear clearly through there, but that's not the problem.
Also every now and then what i hear is like that of a broken computer voice when I'm voice chatting with whoever.
