    Hi everybody.
    I own a Vaio FZ230E and I'm having some issues with the soundcard. I downgraded to XP and wonder if that may be part of the issue. I have the sound drivers installed correctly I think. Everything works fine in general, and including on skype video chats using the built-in mic and camera. Unfortunately, when i try to make a skype out call, the built-in mic and camera echo and have drop outs. I wanted to upgrade the sound card drivers to see if that would solve any issues but so far all i can figure out is that its a Sigma Tel audio device and thats it. anybody have any ideas? Thank you for your time!

    Skype works fine without issue on my FZ, under Vista though.
