Hello Gustavo,

Thanks responding but I don't understand how this will help. This
program appears merely to record sound. It sounds as though it is just a
high level program. I need my microphone to work with VOIP, that is my
purpose. My microphone has not worked with Ekiga, Audicity or other
programs I have tried. I don't understand how this will help. I was
hoping to find out where to find drivers or how to adjust the OS.

Regards,
Daron.
