If you want to override the volume level, turn off this switch, and a volume level bar is shown where you can manually set the volume level by clicking on the desired level. You can decide to overwrite Skype's automatic management and impose a volume level that works better for you. That's why you have a switch for "Automatically adjust microphone settings."

You can repeat the process of changing the device until you select the correct microphone that works. If you have made the correct selection, the microphone input bar starts to color its dots while you talk, showing the input level.

During times of silence or if you move too far away from the mic, this can cause the “noise floor” to be raised higher thus producing an audible hiss. When enabled, AGC will constantly adjust the level of your audio based on your relationship to the mic and whether or not you are speaking into it. Then go into your computer’s settings and set the level you want your mic to be. Now you can simply go into your preferences audio/video settings and uncheck the “Automatically Adjust Microphone Settings” box.

As podcasters, we want to make sure we are in control of all our settings all of the time. If you weren’t already aware, Skype is likely controlling your audio levels.
