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 I did NOT have gnome-alsamixer installed. 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?
