Note: When alsamixer came up in the terminal window, the only view option seems to be for Playback, which is shown above. Should it be possible for me to get a view of Capture too? How? >In Skype, there's a small utility with a voice server, where you can >check your sound configuration easily. I use their test robot to test, but when I try it with Skype for Linux, when they are going to playback what I speak into the microphone, there's one beep and then almost immediately, a 2nd beep. When I do that while using Skype for windows, I can hear what I speak into the microphone. I get the Digest version of the ML but I will check back, online, for further ideas today! Thank you for your very quick reply! Lanny
