I've just installed a beta version of skype in CentOS 5.3 and everything seems fine - the mic is working OK as I can hear it through the speakers (feedback). Problem is I can't get the mic to actually work with skype (eg with skype call testing service) - it may be that one of the many settings is incorrect - has anybody else had this problem and got any suggestions please? Andy

This is a trap I also got caught in. Just speak into your mic, and then wait until the testing service hangs up. Then you'll hear your message. Cheers, Niki

(- right click on your volume control applet) - open volume control - Edit > Preferences... : check "Capture" - play with the slider and buttons of the new tab: for example I have the capture slider to max and both buttons active (no red cross) Also make sure the Front Mic (or equivalent) is active in the main "Playback" tab.
