No Sound on new Dell laptop with Windows 7

[frankhamil]

I just upgraded from a Lenovo ThinkPad running Windows XP to a Dell Latitude laptop running Windows 7. Skype worked fine on old laptop.

I installed Skype. I can make a video call and see the other person, but there is no sound in either direction. I tried the Echo/Sound test routine  on both. Does just what you'd expect on old laptop. No sound on new Dell. The sound bars do move, but there is no sound.

I tried the Firewall fix, but that did not solve the problem. Christmas is right around the corner, and I really need this to be working.

Thank you.

If you go to Tools -> Options -Audio settings, what settings do you see for Microphone and Speakers? Also, what do you have for the corresponding settings in Windows Sound Control panel?

Got it fixed. Audio was set to headphones, and I wasn't using headphones.
