Hi Mikhail,

Have you tried connecting to the ekiga test address? You can find it at 
their site; if I'm not mistaken it's 500 at ekiga.net. Try that; it should 
re-play whatever you say to a microphone in a several seconds.
"Test Settings" buttons in audio/video configuration tabs didn't re-play 
anything for me, so I decided they did something different. Audio/video 
works for me with the default settings; I didn't have to force anything.

HTH,

Andriy
