- When you are on a Skype discussion, it is more beneficial to change system sound input settings so that your Skype friends hear what you hear via your PC speakers.

This allows anybody you are contacting to hear both your voice and the audio from your PC, such as music or a video.
- By default, sound devices do not connect system audio to the mic feed. This may be accomplished using software and hardware. If your sound equipment permits it, you will need to utilize the stereo mix option or something similar.
