It;s all in the settings, if Fedora would only make all settings
"halfway" Default, it sure would stop a lot of heart aches .
I got Skype installed and working on a eeePC 701.
I yum installed "gnome-volume-manager" and run gnome-volume-control
and open all channels/preferences
and selected each.
On my Laptop eeePC I uninstall Pulseaudio and sound begin to work, then
I reinstalled Puseaudio and sound works, I had to find the MIC setting
and adjust.
I know that sounds screwy but it worked, why, I don't know.
