[opensuse] Skype on 11.0 X86_64
Hi, I have installed skype (Static OSS) successfully. Everything seems to work fine except that my microphone is not working. My H/W is ok (I used it from Windows). Please give me some pointer on how to check mic in SuSE, and if mic check is ok then how to configure skype to use mic. Thanks in advance.

Some H/W specs? Try "alsaconf" as root for audio card detection. In KDE, KMix, I ahve to select DigitalMic1 as input before the builtin mic starts working. Manne -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I had the same problem, and my solution was: Skype -> Options -> Sound Devices -> Sound In and change "Defaults" in what you have in that list.

Thanks for the reply Ioan,
But my option shows only /dev/dsp/ and nothing else :(
Any other suggessions would also be appreciated.

I'm wondering why you use the static OSS version instead of the dynamic ALSA one? And also I'm wondering if you are using Gnome or any other windowmanager (important because the pulseaudio thing under Gnome)?

hmm, ok, so I'm using the dynamic ALSA version and it more or less just works for me. Since you are not using Gnome you shouldn't run into the pulseaudio issue so I would recommend to not use the OSS version. I often found myself having issues with my mixer not capturing the mic. You probably should try first to get that really working for example using "arecord" and playing with "alsamixer". Or did you write somewhere that other microphone capturing applications are working for you already?

Hi,
I have figured that Skype was ok since the linein/mic is not working
at all. The inbuilt sound card works well in windows (a dual boot) for
both i/p and o/p.
I have managed a USB-Sound card and it works well under both Windows
and Linux (both i/p n o/p). So it seems that there is somthing wrong
with the input part of the sound driver for linux (or I am missing
some settings).
I am using D945GCL intel motherboard, any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bikram
