William was very kind and he volunteered to help, but I have other projects, with higher priorities, ahead of this one now. Great to know that one of the previous responders has it working AOK. My Sound Card is a Generic, which uses the snd-cs46xx driver. It's a Cirrus Logic and Skype works perfectly on M$ Windows, which is the main reason why this is still a dual boot box. Like yours, my calls to the Skype test robot are all one way. I can hear her, but she can't hear me. GL! Lanny
