But this is not changable - at least in alsamixergui???

Played around some. It can be changed from ncurses alsamixer and kmix - 
but it drops to 0 or almost 0. Unchecked skype setting of automatically 
adjusting sound controls, still the same. It still drops to 0 as soon as 
skype call starts.

Aha, changed the skyope checkbox before chaning mic to Communicator, and 
applied the settings - now the mic volume is at max and stays there 
during the call, still no sound.

With volume at 100%, I tried arecord, it sill gets silence. It outputs 
constant stream ox 0x80 bytes.
