My Husband tells me that, despite wearing a nasal mask, I still snore quite a bit. Has anyone had this problem and if so what did they do to solve it? Thanks for reading this.

You shouldn't really be still snoring Sally. Have a word with your sleep clinic and see if they think a raised pressure might help.
Does your mouth stay closed while you sleep?
Sometimes, with a nasal mask, the mouth can drop open a bit and air escapes.
This can make a noise that possibly seems like snoring, as well as diverting air away from the airway passages, and thus reducing the effectiveness of the procedure.
I have always used a chinstrap with a nasal mask because of this problem.
