If you have an Intel based machine ubuntu linux is just starting to create drivers for Intel based machine with the intel based sound recorder. Don't worry i had the same problem when i had to do a verbal project for school my recorder wasn't working. But 3 weeks ago they released a driver for my sound device so dud you are going to have to wait for that driver to be released before you can use the sound device to talk to people. Don't worry i would go to the ubunut help forums for more information. Search what you are having trouble with on the forums. The link is http://ubuntuforums.org/ i hope you fix your problem.

my problem is still the same. is there any changes? is there a possibility to do voicechats with any program with ubuntu or do I really have to install windows again?

Until i went to the internet cafe but that is quite a hassle since i do voice chats a few times a week.

I really need to do voicechats - if possible on camfrog but yahoo would be OK. How can I do that? I have online meetings with people in different countries and continents, so I cannot change programs easily.

PLEASE SOMEONE ANSWER ME!!!! Even if I haven't noticed that there are already answers.
