Organizations often use conferencing software like Skype or Microsoft Office Live Meeting to enable employees to communicate with clients or other workers remotely. The Acer Aspire One is ideal for this purpose, as it includes a built-in mic; moreover, unlike a desktop, the Acer is portable, enabling you to participate in meetings when outside of the office. If the mic isn't working, however, the audio driver that enables the mic's operation could be missing or disabled, so you may have to either reinstall the mic or re-enable it.
Reinstall the MicStep 1
Open a browser and navigate to the Acer Suppor site (link in Resources).
Click "Netbook," then "Select Your Product by Model." Check the bottom of the netbook to find the product name and number.
Click "Aspire One," then choose your product from the list. Click "Confirm."
Choose your operating system from the drop-down menu, then click the green download icon to the right of the audio driver.
Open the ZIP file after the download completes. Double-click "setup.exe" to reinstall the mic software.
Restart the computer to begin using the built-in mic.
Re-Enable the MicStep 1
Click "Start | Control Panel | Hardware and Sound | Device Manager."
Double-click "Sound, Video and Game Controllers."
Right-click the audio device and choose "Enable" from the context menu to reactivate the built-in mic.
