The iceweasel that I have installed on Debian 7, apparently does not include, in the about:config, the variable "loop.throttled" (see http://askubuntu.com/questions/556102/no-hello-icon-in-firefox-34 ) and so, appears to be not compatible with WebRTC. In the version of SeaMonkey, that I have installed on Debian 7, the same applies (I thought that I should try to do it in SeaMonkey, in case that would work). I can not find how to enable WebRTC in Opera, for either Debian Linux, or for MS Windows 8.x. I have, however, apparently managed, by following the instructions at http://askubuntu.com/questions/556102/no-hello-icon-in-firefox-34 to get WebRTC enabled in the version of Firefox, that is installed on a MS Windows 8.1 system. Thus, it appears (to me) that WebRTC is available for MS Windows 8.1, via Firefox, but, not for Debian Linux 7 amd64. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..

Yeow. Ric No, I set volumes to minimum and muted *all* microphone inputs (internal, external and dock, although the other ones weren't even connected), but I could still hear input from the internal microphone in the speakers (e.g. tapping on the laptop case) :( I'm guessing some bad interaction with the alsa driver, but currently I have no incentive to investigate this as the only person who was video-calling me can (also) use Google Hangouts, which works with plain alsa.

Also, try all the different sound inputs that Skype shows. One or another may or may not work. Don't expect any consistency. The problem is that Skype uses proprietary codecs and closed-source code.
