no audio in microphone
I am trying to setup skype. I got a nice new logitech C200 web cam the video works now. But I've tried plugging 2 different microphones in, to the front back panels of the desktop with no audio output. I hear the skype voice, but not mine.. lspci shows: 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 05) I have also installed when I bring up alsamixergui it has sliders for Master, PCM,Front, Surround, Center, LFE, Side, IEX958, IEC958 Default PCM, Capture, Capture1, Capture 2, Analog loop, Digital, Input source1, Input source2, Mux, Mux1, Mux2, and Swap center. I also tried the sound recorder. It creates a 5Kb ogg file that is empty. suggestions, hints?? It's a Dell desktop XPS 410 -- Paul Cartwright -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: no audio in microphone
First, try recording with arecord -V. (-V param will provide you a VU-meter.) Second, play with the mic settings in alsamixer interface.

I'd hazzard a guess that you don't have a capture device set. run alsamixer, press F4, select Capture device and press space and then try again. mk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

My speaker has always worked, I listen to audio from internet radio all the time watch videos stuff. I just never had a need to setup the microphone. So I installed gnome-alsamixer ran alsamixer from the terminal, tweaked the Captures, etc, and Skype WORKED. My voice sounded muffled fuzzy, so I tried a different mic.. that seemed a bit better. I think it is just a matter of setting the levels right, not sure exactly which ones do what, but at least it is working. I wanted to setup Skype so I could see/talk to my grand daughter on my BIG monitor, not my wife's laptop.. thanks ! -- Paul Cartwright -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I wanted to setup Skype so I could see/talk to my grand daughter on my BIG monitor, not my wife's laptop.. wow, I have no idea what happened, but I lost my Intel audio card. alsaconf didn't work, all I had to pick from was a USB sound card, and it didn't play anything. I even turned OFF the computer rebooted, still no sound. SO, I: purge alsa-utils alsa-base aptitude install alsa-utils alsa-base it then RAN alsaconfig, I selected my Intel audio card, and SOUND returned! I kept trying to run alsaconf, and it said not found, yet when I reinstall alsa-base alsa-utils alsaconf is there... I'm not sure I understand what happened. -- Paul Cartwright -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
