It's okay; I got myself a new headset (I needed one anyway as the old one was never any use - never trust a brand called "Trust") - it's a spiffy one too, and the tests at least yielded results on Audacity as well as Skype (yay!).

So - do I just phone Snapecast on Skype and read the epitaph out? (I've obviously never done this before, on account of, well, the stupid first headset.)
