It's a Plantronics .Audio 500 USB.

Both "less /proc/asound/cards" and "less /proc/asound/devices" show that it is
detected fine.

I can get the headphones to work by setting the usb devices in the Skype
settings, but not the mike. I used the same config in Ubuntu Feisty and it
worked perfectly.

Any ideas?

One more thing there was a extensive discussion on getting Skype and a
microphone to work in the last few months on the fedora-list. You should
look at that discussion.

First I have a Bug in for the Alsa Mixer. Here is how I get it working but first let me say my headset is attached to the sound card. To see your mixer click on System Preferances Personal and at the bottom Volume Control.

Now click on File Change device and if you have another change to that. Find the Micophone and by default it is turned OFF. Clear that and your mike will work. On Skype I am K5DIUSA
