Uh huh, and when running skype. ekiga, audacity, or anything else that
requires this full duplex operation, it doesn't effect this particular
phenom other than turning the overall volume down, and when you run it
back up to the audible level, its still doing it with as much enthusiasm
as when you turned it down for effects. It specifically is not related
to any gain control's settings.
