Laptop using default mic instead of plugged in mic

[savithepk]

Hey guys,

I am currently on a laptop. I have my mic plugged into the right jack, and believe I have even used this mic with this laptop before. However, when I'm on skype and other stuff, it's using the laptop mic instead of my own. I've already tested this mic with other computer and it works fine. I can't figure out why the heck it's using my laptop mic instead of my real mic.

Please help

Thanks to everyone who responds! xD

Go to Control Panel>Sound>Recording and select your mic. Hopes this help...
