Hi, John:

I use SKYPE both with Windows and with Linux.
The audio is tricker, for me, with Linux.
Does your microphone audio work locally?
I do not use FC? nor .rpm, so I can offer no help
in those areas.

HTH, Chuck

Hello,

I'm having problems with Skype, I installed the rpm for fc3 but I am
using fc4. Many people claim to have got this working but I am having
problems with the mic, people can not hear me. I've made sure the mic
volume is turned right up in volume control but this makes no
difference. Has anybody had the same experience who can help?

Dunno about Skype or Fedora Core 3/4, but was wondering if
your problem could be the particular sound card you're using??

I've noticed that many not only require "Volume" and "Mic"
set high but a possible other "slider" that affects it too?? Does
your mixer have an obscure additional slider??

I have one card that needs three set and unmuted to work
properly... Flail away...

Chuck asks if the Mic works OK locally.. Usually Mic inputs
are not stereo and one of the pin outs is +5 for an electronic mic..
I could be way wrong depending on the card, etc... Just a thought..

HTH.

Re: skype

I just tested in Fedora 4 and Skype works fine.

They have a test, dial echo123 and follow the instructions. Enter echo123 in
the dial bare then click the green phone handle for dialing.

Make sure all the settings for volume control, I am using
gnome-volume-control, are set to maximum.

Do you have 'man arecord' or 'man rec'?? The former is you're
using ALSA sound; the latter if you're using OSS sound.. Suspect the
former is correct.. Can you invoke 'alsamixer'? This is getting
involved, eh??

Trouble is; if "local" works that still wont really solve
your problem... Ugh..
