If I install it, I guess I'll have to do it from source. I'm not really looking to do much interesting with audio. Eventually I expect to install skype. That was the reason I bought the headset. I wanted to make sure that I could make existing software use it before trying to use it with something new and possibly more complicated. If the humming is in the headset microphone, I suppose I'll have to get a different one. Any ideas on how to tell before I buy it whether a microphone will introduce humming? First I need to fix my packages. -- Michael hennebry at web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "SCSI is NOT magic.
