Hi, I am having the same problem as well. This is the first time I have reported a bug like this so I am a bit of a noob.
I installed linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic and adjusted the audio as was suggested. Attached is the output from running the amixer and pactl stat tests while running skype. ** Attachment added: "pactl stat" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35881659/pactl_stat-skype.txt -- microphone only works in select applications, acer timeline 4810 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477752 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
