I just got skype working on Fedora 11 - had a few set up issues to start. bit of fiddling to get the test call to work. Had to set and apply the <Options><Sound Devices> to HDA Intel (hw:Intel,0) for sound in, sound out and Ringing then set 'Allow skype to automatically adjust my mixer'. I don't have a sound card, just what's on the MB. Roger
