No idea what is happening there, but I would suggest that you start by turning off video (under Preferences) and just get the audio going. > I have another problem as well, which I am sending in the same message > in case they are related. > > There is no sound.

This is a "feature" of ekiga which completely confused me when I first tried it, and had teething problems. The behaviour you describe is normal: the sliders only become active and sensible during a call.
