Hi All,

thanx Ian, but, I'm not too sure if that is my problem. I just tried the 
echo123 service from Skype, and failed miserably even with stopping 
esdctl as suggested by Evan. What I can't understand, is, there is 
definitely some form of sound making it from the mic to the speakers, 
when I blow hard into the mic. What is even more demoralising, is, I've 
been talking up Linux to my family, who all use Windows, and they are 
now making fun of me(nothing new there) and my whole, "Linux is the 
best" philosophy. Help me to redeem myself, please(lol). Cheers.
