Marie,
I think I was a little inaccurate with my instructions earlier, so here I go again, more carefully this time:
1. Open control panel, find "sounds and audio devices" and press shift+tab to reach the row of tabs, then tab to "audio tab".
2. Tab across to "sound playback volume" and press enter, you should find a series of controls for the various inputs of your card, and there you should find mic volume followed by a mute check box, this should be checked. Once you have made sure it is checked, close this with alt+f4.
3. Tab to "sound recording volume" and press enter, you will find a similar group of controls, this time make sure that mic volume is selected and close this with alt+f4, then tab to ok and press enter, then reopen Skype and try again.
If you would like to contact me on Skype, my user name, all in lower case, is: noizypete 

Good luck,

Pete H.

Marie,
I wouldn't advise you to play around in the Audigy menu, you need to go into control panel, sound and audio devices, then sound devices and check that audigy is set in your recording devices, and also that microphone is selected in recording volume but not selected in playback volume, you should not hear your microphone back in your headset if these settings are correctly set. 

Regards,

Pete H.

thanks for your help Phil. Managed to add a contact or two but struggling with the sounds settings because of difficulty in navigating in the creative audigy 2 menus. Hope I get there some day.

Hi Marie,

Chat, in Skype, is a means of messaging using text while call is
communication using sound i.e. speech.
Once you select a contact from the list, pressing the applications key will give you a context menu with other options including the ability to send a file to the contact, viewing the contact's profile and blocking the contact.
There are other options which require that you have other Skype services active, but most of these you need Skype credit to use. Skype credit works a bit like pay-as-you-go mobile phones in that you place credit with Skype 
then use it up.
Examples of these services are making calls to landline phones or mobile 
phones, sending text messages to mobile phones etc.
Skype is presented as a set of tabs which you can navigate using keystrokes 
provided by the Jaws scripts.

You can find an overview of the keystrokes by pressing JawsKey+h.

HTH,


Phil Medway

Subject: [jaws-uk] More questions on skype
I've downloaded the executable file as advised and installed it making sure 
all the scripts were compiled as recommended before pressing the finish
button.
However, the problems I encountered trying to add contacts are still there. I type the email address of a friend and press the find button, sometimes 
the search is started but not always and I don't get any result.
More puzzling now... I've run the test call many times, I get the service 
ok, but I do not hear my message played back to me as I should.
I know my mike works because I can hear my breath in my headphones as I
type. The problem must lie in the playback volume but I don't know where to 
find this to alter its settings.
I use an audigy 2 soundcard, what should I look for and where? navigating in the creative submenus is a nightmare but if pointed to the right direction, 
I might be able to crack that one.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Marie
P.S. What's the difference between chat and call? probably quite obvious to 
you all but I'll like it clarified for a skype user. Thanks.
