I didn't meant create and account, but get ekiga connected (registrated)
to the server
- -in the middle of ekiga it says : "registrated accounts : x"
- -at the bottom of ekiga it says if registration succeded or not
- -in "Edit->Accounts" you can see the status of registration

Activating it is often the better solution (edit->prefrences;network
setting -> NAT transversal method -> STUN (the stun server being
stun.ekiga.net by default, but others work too)

Set the level meter at the max, and often in the options (edit->pref of
volume controler, there is a Mic Boost (+20dB)).
Sometimes the mic volume is very weak because it uses the internal mic
(it there is one) instead of the mic you plug in

in the audio tab of ekiga there are level meters for speakers and mic.
This could help you
