The soundcard. I've got a Creative Webcam Live! Pro (apparently), and a separate headset with microphone that plugs into the soundcard. Works a treat.

Listening to the sound to speakers and speaking into a mike will cause VERY annoying feedback!! I do Skype with one client occasionally and he does not have a headset, and I can tell you that it is distracting almost to the point of unusable. You will speak and then hear yourself about 1/2 second later. For some reason it causes the brain to go spastic and makes it very difficult to talk. OK, maybe my brain is just spastic but take my word for it, don't do that. John W.

Would the lowest broadband handle it? Susan H. Any camera will do? I see some pretty inexpensive at Fry's. _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com No virus found in this incoming message.
