Hello Mates, since one week (or 2) my Microphone not worked. Before one week it works good. I can hear Music, and if i spoke into the Microphone, i hear me in the Speakers. But if i start audacity, no input comes to the Program. I'm have trouble with Skype, too. Before one week, i can phone exactly. But if i call the testbot, i can't hear my voice in the bot. I've checked the KMix. Microphone is as "recording" marked in KMix, and the +20db is activated too. I've an Soundcard on Board with Nforce3 chipset, and AC'97 compatibility. I've attached an Report made by alsatroubleshooting. And if i start skype from the Shell, the Program gives the following output: c:2205:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.hdmi ALSA lib pcm.c:2205:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.hdmi ALSA lib pcm.c:2205:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.hdmi ALSA lib pcm.c:2205:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.hdmi ALSA lib pcm.c:2205:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.hdmi ALSA lib pcm.c:2205:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.hdmi ALSA lib pcm.c:2205:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.hdmi ALSA lib pcm.c:2205:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.hdmi ALSA lib pcm.c:2205:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.hdmi RtApiAlsa: callback thread error (RtApiAlsa: audio read error for device (NVidia CK8S (hw:CK8S,0)): Eingabe-/Ausgabefehler.) ... closing stream. Does anyone know, what is false?
