I downloaded skype for suse 10+ and installed it on s11. I'm able to login to a skype account created on another computer, but I cannot activate a skype test call. I know that my headset works, but I am having trouble verifying that the mike works.

How do I get the test call to work?

Have you verified that the mike works at all?

No, but the headset I am using is a brand new Plantronics. This headset comes with a usb adaptor, but it seems not to work at all with Linux. The earphones work when plugged into the earphone jack of external speakers. I have verified by running the Fedora mixer program that the mike and mike boost are muted and I have not figured out how to unmute them. On Suse I am running without Gnome and KDE, so I have not yet figured out how to check and adjust the volume of the mike. I am a complete newbie with a/v on Linux. I have been running mplayer on OpenBSD for about a year, but have not even attempted to use a mike until yesterday.

Skype call test works now on both F9 and S11, but nothing I say is played back.

David, I am not sure what to say... Can you verify that that mike works on any system? I mean, on the one hand I don't see any reason why it shoould be defective, on the other hand, at this point I have yet to see any indication that it works at all.
