hi Ok, here's the thing. Before I make a skype call, I select what you hear in the recording controls. When I make a skype call and the other person answers it, the microphone is then selected, which turns off the what you hear option, preventing me from recording both sides of the conversation. I think I probably need to change something in Skype to prevent it from changing my audio settings each time someone answers a call. Also when this happens, my mic is muted, but the other person can still hear me just fine, but again, I look in my playback controls, and the mic is muted in playback, but not in recording controls. By the way, I'm using a SB Audigy 2 sound card if any of this helps. Thanks. I hope what I just said makes some kind of sense? :)
