[X4U] [OT] Skype microphone

[Kunga]

I use a USB Microphone on a via voice USB Mic headset and separate 
headphones. Something is wrong with the Skype preferences or the Mac 
Panther sound preferences that won't let me hear from the USB Headset. 
I have to use an analog input headset to hear the other person. I have 
an analog mic headset that won't work on the mic input. So far I must 
use separate USB Mic AND an analog input headset to have the full 
effect. The PowerBook built in mic is very poor fidelity on the other 
end and in a noisy coffeehouse it can be a problem for the other person 
to hear you at all.
