Re: [kde] Phonon + PulseAudio + Skype = No mic
Figured it out; had to add msi=enbable and model=auto to modprobe.d for snd-hda-intel.

Re: [kde] Phonon + PulseAudio + Skype = No mic
Fixed what I broke; but still havent figured out the Skype Microphone issue. Something Odd that I did notice however is... input from my mic (just like at the desktop) is coming out of my speakers o.O On Mon, Aug 29, 2011 at 2:30 AM, Eric Griffith wrote: > Unfortunately Stephen it was not; I do thank you however for offering > advice.

Re: [kde] Phonon + PulseAudio + Skype = No mic
Eric, Just replying directly to you, but if this is applicable, please follow up on the list. I have an ASUS Eee PC 1005PE that i finally got Skype working on (Debian Squeeze) by following some instructions i found somewhere (don't know sure where). Tell skype that it MAY NOT automatically adjust the mixer and then set the left Mic input/gain to 0 and the right input to 75-80%. This works for the Eee, as i understand it, because the left/right mic are done via differencing the two inputs, where the right channel is the master, they aren't fully independent. skype apparently can't deal with that, esp if it's in control of the mixer. Good luck, --stephen ___ This message is from the kde mailing list. Account management: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde. Archives: http://lists.kde.org/.
