I've not experimented with VOIP very much, but, when using a standard audio socket headset I've struggled to overcome a buzz that gets included with my outgoing audio, when I use a laptop. It does seem to be a standard laptop problem anyway, people seem to, instantly, know I'm on a laptop because of the buzz. Do USB headsets overcome this problem? > Finally - pace RMS - if you're going to use Skype proprietary software, Talk of propretry software, has anyone had any success in using the web based version of PalTalk - http://express.paltalk.com/ It boasts Linux compatibility, but seems to be a bugger to get working - just the right versions of Flash and Java seem to be needed. I have sound in working on one 8.04 box, sound out worked, briefly, too. On all other installations I've had no joy. -- co...@spudulike.me.uk Gotta' go, things to be, people to do, stuff to, err, stuff. -- co...@spudulike.me.uk Gotta go, things to be, people to do, and stuff to, err, stuff. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
