Couldn't get Skype to work on Acer Aspire 4820T, Ubuntu 10.10. Sound Recorder works, so Mic seems to be working in general. One weird thing, though: in the Sound & Video Sound Input Menu, there is no way to test the Microphone. There is something that looks like it could be an sound level indicator, so I just assumed it is always in test mode. But I never saw anything happening, so it is a rather confusing dialog (did nothing happen because the Mic doesn't work? Or what?). Might be better to have an explicit "Test" button.
It is also confusing if the Microphone works in Sound Recorder, but not in the Mixer ("Audio Input" Menu), if that is the case - is the Sound Recorder App using something else? How else to REALLY test the Microphone setup? Unfortunately this was on my mother's notebook, so I don't have access to it right now. Providing more specific information is therefore difficult. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/437192 Title: No microphone in skype -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
