I've now installed the beta version (the wiki.centos link was very helpful) and it's working on my CentOS 5 system, except that I can't get anything through my microphone - I've got sound through the speakers, so the soundcard seems to be configured OK. The same hardware works fine in Windows XP (dual-boot system). Any ideas please on how to configure and/or test the microphone and get it working, 'coz skype aint gonna be much use without it!
