I've just installed Skype on a Travelmate 290 and it works (with an external microphone) very well except that I am getting a bad echo. Everything spoken into the microphone is being played back through the built-in speakers.
I have tried downloading the latest Realtek drivers and have set the microphone to mute in the playback settings under audio control but this seems to have no effect - the echo is still there. Does anyone have any suggestions of what else I could try?

I've now spoken to Acer support on this. They recommended reloading the sound drivers from their own site rather than the Realtek ones but thought that it was most likely a hardware problem. Does this sound likely to others here?
If it is hardware they suggested it would be a main board problem and that might not be worth getting fixed on a 2 year old laptop?
