I experience something similar, but playing music from Rhythmbox and recording via gnome-sound-recorder also produces only quiet white-noise.
my soundsystem: Realtek ALC660 HD Audio; 5.1-Channel High Definition Audio Codec The microphone is integrated to my webcam: windows driver filename Chicony_webcam_61180.exe On 8.04, I managed to record but not listen, now on 8.10, it's vice versa q: In Skype, if I set Sound In -device to "HDA Intel (plughw:Intel,0)" no error message is given, but test call doesn't return my voice Skype uses pulseaudio (option "pulse") for Sound Out and Ringing. In Ekiga's Configuration Druid, page 7/10: Audio Devices, I do "Test Settings" if audio input device is "HDA Intel", nothing comes out if audio input device is "Default", the quiet white-noise is registered on the graph but no audible voice comes out In Audacity, choosing the "ALSA: HDA Intel: ALC660-VD Analog (hw:0,0)" option produces different results depending which programs are running on the background (I suppose), but when it works, it produces the same white-noise. Amplifying it, I get louder white-noise, nothing of my test speech comes through. Hope my descriptions help solving the problem. -- Recording no longer works in Intrepid for Asus A8Jm (ICH7 snd_hda_intel) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/303470 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is the registrant for ekiga. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
