	Dunno about Skype or Fedora Core 3/4, but was wondering if
your problem could be the particular sound card you're using??

	I've noticed that many not only require "Volume" and "Mic"
set high but a possible other "slider" that affects it too?? Does
your mixer have an obscure additional slider??

	I have one card that needs three set and unmuted to work
properly... Flail away... <grin>

	Chuck asks if the Mic works OK locally.. Usually Mic inputs
are not stereo and one of the pin outs is +5 for an electronic mic..
I could be way wrong depending on the card, etc... Just a thought..

HTH.
