I think they might, but thats not tested. This system started out
fairly noisey, but it hasn't made a peep in quite a while now, even when
I was playing with skype headset last night, all of which worked. But
going into ekiga's configs I played for quite a while before it finally
played the ring-tone.wav, in the headset but not in the speakers. The
no-speaker led is on, and I have NDI how to shut that off. All new
machinery, and aged operator aren't mixing well I fear.
If I can remember, I have an audio cd in the truck I'll bring in
tonight and rip with grip, then see if I can play the ripped files & get
back with a yay/nay.
