Unresolved issue with my built-in microphone (realtek high-definition audio)

[ayyylmaooo]

Recently, I've had problems talking with my friend(s) on Skype. I use a laptop, and my microphone is a built-in one. The name of the microphone is Microphone ( Realtek High Definition Audio). When in the call with my friends, I can hear them clearly but they can't hear me at all. Sometimes, the microphone works but most of the time it does not.
When I go to Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Sound>Manage audio devices>Recording, I do not see any green bars rising from the microphone whenever I speak to it. Screenie: http://prntscr.com/7bv85n
I've tried reinstalling Skype, enabling and disabling my microphone, still no luck. Could anyone help me with my microphone? Thank you c:

Hello ayyylmaooo

When you double click the microphon under recording tab there should be another tab labled levels. Ensure they are maxed out.Press okay then see how sensitive the mic is.

Hey de4dd0g,
Thanks for answering man, I maxed it out until it was 100 (it was 97 previously). Still not working :c Any more solutions?

Have you tried to use the microphone in more than 1 program? Does the green bars move at all when you talk into the mic on the microphone tab?
