This=20 program appears merely to record sound. It sounds as though it is just = a=20 high level program. I need my microphone to work with VOIP, that is my=20 purpose. My microphone has not worked with Ekiga, Audicity or other=20 programs I have tried. I don't understand how this will help. I was=20 hoping to find out where to find drivers or how to adjust the OS.
