i try to be there, but i can hardly hear anything.

They usually don't say much, unless they are talking about something interesting like DUSB or something.

Do you mean their mic sound cuts or do they start talking while you're talking?

Ah ok, that sucks. :S

Yeah, that happens a few times, but I have an insanely fast down speed (as far as internet speeds go), so I get very few lags like that.  What I don't like is those mics that only turn on if they think there's sound, so you hear static when they breath, and it's annoying....
