Thanx a lot. I will retry it then!
What I had wanted to use it for might still
not work; namely to let me play some mp3
into a skype connection so that the person on
the other end can hear good quality sound clip.
I read some blogs on how to do that, but they
were incorrect, so by following their suggestions,
I had lost the audio sound and had to start all over.
