OH yes it was developed on that platform first ..... I don't know why they picked that platform first though (grin)

Lately we have been having problems with Skype, the other end can hear me, I can't hear the other end or I hear something that sounds like a drum solo being performed over and over again. Last night, neither end could be heard, so we had to reply on the built-in instant messaging. Problem with the Windows version at the other end (USA) and Linux/Windows (under Crossover Office) versions at my end. We did have one excellent chat about 4 nights ago. Meanwhile I'm having to revert to the hamradio VOIP. Has anyone had trouble free operation with Skype lately?. Regards Sid.
I use it to talk to a mate of mine he is using Windows whereas I'm using Linux without any problems. What I found at the beginning was that you must have a good quality headset and mic, otherwise you cannot get a decent audio level. This applies to both Windows and Linux. The other thing is the mixer settings, I use kmix as I found kamix did not allow access to any of the advanced settings. On the input side you must have the record (red button) turned on as well as the mic boost (Advanced) to use skype. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
