Everyone:

I have /never/ been able to get F14 or any other flavor of Fedora to 
recognize any microphone that I have used.

I tried it with a Dell Inspiron 2500. The built-in videocam worked, but 
the mike? No joy.

Then I tried it on a mini-tower with a Plantronics USB stereo headset 
with microphone. /Again/ no joy.

And just to be sure, I plugged it into another box that had Windows 7 
installed. And there it worked. I used Skype and talked with someone for 
an hour and a half.

So: /what is wrong with Fedora and microphones?/
