ok with skype launched as skype using pulseaudio the only working mike was the external.
launching skype with /bin/sh -c "PULSE_SERVER=127.0.0.1 skype" (this bypasses pulseaudio without uninstalling it) I can confirm the autosense on the mic works and successfully switched between internal and external microphones. -- Recording from microphone stutters when pulseaudio is running https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/354620 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
