Re: Help with sound card

2007-04-12 Thread Moshe Gorohovsky
Hi Orr,

Try switching external amplifier in alsamixer on or off,
this had helped me with a similar microfone issue a while ago.

Use full view in alsamixer to see all alsa settings and controls.
New kernel can introduce new alsa setting or control that
you do not see in your current configuration.

When you use a vanilla kernel (compiled your own kernel)
you must use alsa-tools, alsa-lib, alsa-utils, etc. from
alsa-project.org. Do not use FC6 alsa-tools on non-FC6 kernels.

 Tried both mic1 and mic2 for inputs (surprisingly only mic1 works).
 
 No other sound device (especially not a mic).
 
 Permissions:

 none worked.
 
 anyone with some guess why this happens? google tells me a lot about two
 sound cards, but I have only one, and alsamixer does not solve the problem.
 
 Thanks!

Just FYI,
It is a known issue that many times skype will not work without Microphone 
capture on.
