Works like a charm. No more messing with the plugs *whew* I'll have to check out oovoo. We haven't done anything with webcams yet, not sure if we will. Grabbed a Logitech USB headset.

I’ll have to check out oovoo. We haven’t done anything with webcams yet, not sure if we will.

Side note our team uses oovoo now instead of skype because it supports multiple webcams in a multiuser call. Funny, I just came back to suggest getting a usb headset and saw your response.

For some reason, I'm thinking it may be a hardware switch, as turning up all channels wheil playing music, only allows one connection to be in use. I may look into a USB headset, as it would run completely separate from the soundcard. Per process volume controls seems like a pretty cool idea.

Kubuntu probably has a similar feature to vista that allows you to have per process volume controls as well. So you could turn skype all the way down in your speaker stream but up on your headset stream.
