Hi, Can anybody advise me how to set-up a USB mike to work with Skype? The Mic is a Logitech Desktop Digital Microphone - USB (i.e. AK5370). The Mic appears on a "AK5370" tab in KMix but I cannot move the volume slider (but doesn't show by default - only after Channel Show ...). It shows in GMerlin ALSA Mixer on the "USB Mixer" tab where I can adjust the volume slider. I've tried changing all the "Prefer" settings ("AKM AK5370 (USB Audio)") in the "Default Capture Device Preferences" within "Sound and Video Configuration" of "Multimedia - System Settings" (Backend is Xine) In Skype (2.0.0.68. i586) I've tried all the options in "Sound-In" without success. Skype does works with a cheap PC Mic plugged in my PCI sound card (and the USB Mic works with MS!) - but I would prefer to use the USB Mic. Further details below ...
