Thanks - the automatic volume is unchecked so no longer goes to 0 when
I close the call but still no sound from my mic.
Skype has worked with this box, a eeepc 701 back when I had the
supplied Xandros on it.
I have tried to record using sound recorder and am getting nowhere
except that it looks like the problem is nothing to do with Skype

Thanks,
Bob
