Or something.  So Karl and I have different hardware and similar
problems, but another machine I have at home with  FC6 and a SB Live!
shows a normal volume control.  I'm going to install F7 on that this
weekend, so we'll see.  And the latest incarnation of the volume control
on my laptop actually did let me set the mic level enough to be able to
Skype.

It's just kind of unhelpful to suggest (as you seemed to) that just
because you don't have the problem, it doesn't exist.  There are more
combinations of hardware and software and versions in heaven and earth
than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
