We must have different versions. Along the left side there is a square
button with dots in it that says : Changethe view mode..If I double
click on that it says at the bottom' Registration of edunagin to
failed'

This I have. It tells me..ekiga.net SIP Service SIP Registered
and my name and the next line that tells me registration failed.

I did find at the bottom, an audio tab. I turned speaker up as far as
it would go and also the mic volume.

Seems to work ok when I test it. I set  the speaker to my onboard
speaker instead of the headst and it BOOMed at me<g>.

at the bottom of Ekiga's screen that said registration failed.
