    I don't know if this is a common problem or if it's even my problem, but i've been using Skype over the past couple of weeks and i've noticed that as the conversation goes on I can hear a whistle type noise through my speakers (which means whoever im speaking to can hear it so it must be coming from me right?). If I move my laptop then the whistling stops but then after 10/15 minutes it starts to come back and gradually gets louder until I move the laptop...Odd?

    I don't know if i've explained it very well but im not sure if it's my mic's problem. If you are able to help then it'd be much appreciated (from both me and my Skype friends haha)

    You've lost me im afraid, are you suggesting I use headphones? If so I can't see how that will stop what I can only assume is a whistling mic
