I think I may also have found a different approach from a Kernel Update, which I could never get working as well as Rocko. Indeed I buggered up my system and had to re-install (probably cause i am a technical Neanderthal):
I added the http://philip.magicalforest.se repository, updated the repos, installed the default ubuntu-desktop package (to get a minimal pulseaudio) and updated the system. Everything now works. Skype for some reason (probably a blacklist somewhere) avoids using pulse all together so you need to set this to default. I only did this last night so I am unsure how stable things are but I can always go back to a pulse only installation. I am however still unsure on what use pulseaudio is. I read through their wiki and I am still none the wiser.... It seems like its just a wrapper for the various sound standards, but I am more than likely wrong. Maybe canonical could make it an recommend rather than a requirement for ubuntu. -- internal mic capture very low volume when routed through pulseaudio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275998 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
