I've just installed a beta version of skype in CentOS 5.3 and everything
seems fine - the mic is working OK as I can hear it through the speakers
(feedback). Problem is I can't get the mic to actually work with skype
(eg with skype call testing service) - it may be that one of the many
settings is incorrect - has anybody else had this problem and got any
suggestions please?
