In the Gnome mixer, make sure that the "Microphone" and the "capture" microphone icons are NOT MUTED (a red is is muted) .. also change devices to the OSS Mixer and in the capture tab, check the microphone icon for microphone is also not muted there.

Johnny: I think I have that OK. In the Skype Options for the Sound Card, I unchecked allow Skype to change the Mixer settings. Also, I took off the 20 dB boost for the mic.

In Sound Preferences > Devices > Audio Conferencing > Sound Capture > I have it set to OSS. Am I correct, to have that set to OSS? When I did a test, I got this error message:

gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Unable to open device /dev/dsp for recording: Device or resource busy

When I try to do a test call, with the Skype robot, when they would play back what I have recorded, I get 2 beeps, with only 1 or 2 seconds in between them. When I try that on MS Windows, there is about 10 seconds where I can listen to what I have recorded.

Your time and your help are greatly appreciated as are the countless hours you devote to CentOS! Lanny
