    First what version of Skype are you using? I use skype-1.0.74.rpm on 
F7 and this version stopped working at all on FC6. I have had this 
version on F7 for less than a week but it is still working ok I think.

    Have you adjusted your Volume Control that on F7 is click 
System-Preferances-Personal- Volume Conrol? The Volume Control is not 
correct and I have a Bug in on that but it kind of works.

    Once you get it set for your Skype you can keep it set if in a root 
Terminal you write

# alsactl store

    This will keep the settings you have when you do it.

    The people at Skype tell me they are making a new Linux version 
which should be a lot better.
