So, my kid is having a great time with her DII pad (amazing how an 8yo can pick up new OS's), but when she went to use skype for a voice call to a friend, the friend had a lot of trouble hearing her- I've tested it now, and using both Skype (computer-to-computer) and GrooveIP (to make a phone call to my cell phone) the audio from the device has a lot of noise and static. Making a video, though, the sound input is fine (well, I mean, about what you'd expect from a tiny microphone-hole on the side of a tablet- a bit hollow and thin, but not noisy).
I've left it with the stock ROM; I don't think there is anything in the modified ROMS here that we need, but perhaps I am mistaken?
I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions to make VOIP usable, and *mostly* wondering whether anyone knows if the headphone jack is, by some chance, a 4-conductor combo headphone/mic jack that we could use an external headset on.... the kid took my iPad (origingal version) back last night to be able to use Skype, and that's exactly why I got her her own tablet, so I could have my old iPad back and she could even do video Skype. (The DII works great for her for everything else, though- Netflix, games, and she's even discovered the joys of eBooks with the Kindle app).
