Matthias, first of all thanx for the support, I really appreciate it.
That sounds straightforward, unfortunately I cannot get it to work. None of the settings I have available as recording source in Skype work. It works fine in Audacity and Asio apps, cubase et.c, however Skype does not seem to want to talk to the wdm driver as far as recording goes. Good to hear that TotalMix is not affecting this, makes troubleshooting a lot easier.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers yesterday (just so you know), Skype is version 5.3
I'm at work now so I cannot take a screenshot of my available options but this is basically what I have, and if I understand you correctly it should work:
Microphone>mixer>hdsp Analog in>Analog 1&2 selected as recording source in Skype. No signal in Skype whatsoever. Signal ok in TotalMix so nothing is wrong with the input. HeadScratch
Am I correct to think that Analog 1&2 in the recording source list is the analog IN (What is connected to the card input) and not the analog OUT (what goes out the card's output)
