Hi, I've been trying to use skype (unsucessfully) for some time. I've googled, looked at bugs, and read through forms with no luck. I can hear the audio fine, and I've tested the microphone using alsamixer and it works. However, when I make a test call I can hear the prerecorded message, but when I record my message it isn't repeated so there is no outgoing audio. I've read somewhere that there might be a problem with my firewall?!? If so, then how would I check? Here are my details: Skype 2.0.0.72 OS SL5.2.x86_64 alsa-utils 1.0.14-3.rc4.el5.x86_64 Sound Card: Intel 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Computer OPTIPLEX 755 DT : INTEL CORE 2 QUAD Q660 I'd appreciate any help you could provide. Regards, Craig
