I did some more tests and have now a clear picture: 1) in Win7 you can control (System-control-->Sound-->Input) the input devices (build-in micro ./. headset micro), you can test them there and you can define which one is the default; if you set 'headset micro' as default and pull it out, the default switches to build-in micro and back again if you plug it in again; 2) if you start the VM while a) headset micro is pluged-in and b) set as default, the recording in Skype works from headset micro; YES, it works! 3) if you pull out the headset micro, the recording (also in the VM with Skype) falls back to build-in micro; but you can't switch back by pluging it in again, is stays with build-in micro; even a FreeBSD guest system reboot does not change it back; only a restart of VMWare bring the headset micro again as default; It looks like a bug in VMWare or Win7, I think, and nothing we could address here in FreeBSD world, or? Just for the record, se also http://communities.vmware.com/thread/300335 Thanks matthias -- Matthias Apitz t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e <guru@unixarea.de> - w http://www.unixarea.de/
