Thanks, Ralph. This is helpful. It gives me a data point to tracedown why skype is not working. Couple of questions: 1) What type of microphone are you using? Are you using a USB connection? In my case, I am using Logitech web camera that is connected via USB. The web camera provides both audio and video functionalities. 2) When you run pavucontrol -> Input Devices , how many input devices do you see? What are they? 3) In the Configuration tab, how many devices are listed for you? What are they? 4) Is there a conflict between alsa and skype 4.3.0.37-1? Do you have any alsa packages installed on your machine? > In skype options, sound devices, Allow skype to adjust mixer levels is > checked. I have this checked.

It did not have anything that could help my current situation. thanks raju -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
