First I have a Bug in for the Alsa Mixer. Here is how I get it working
but first let me say my headset is attached to the sound card. To see
your mixer click on System Preferances Personal and at the bottom
Volume Control.
Now click on File Change device and if you have another change to that.
Find the Micophone and by default it is turned OFF. Clear that and your
mike will work. On Skype I am K5DIUSA
