Summary: Random Plug of The Week This week's random plug of the week goes out to the Busy Mom's Survival Guide with PJ Jonas. If you check out her show and like it, please be sure to let PJ know you heard about her show from The Podcast Answer Man! Problem Getting Audio Clips Into Skype Call Chris called in to say that he used to be able to use a Sound Mixer audio driver on his Windows 7 computer to get audio clips, played from his computer, to go out to his Skype calls. When he recently installed Windows, he no longer had that sound driver and wanted to know if I had any thoughts on how to get audio clips to play out to the Skype calls. In the episode, I share two possible solutions based upon the criteria that he provided.
