On my camera in use e.g. for Skype and other programs I have disconnected the builtin microphone. The sound over the time deteriorated. I am now using a separate microphone.
Now and than when I least expect it especial Skype decides that it is or should be connected with the builtin microphone. How and where can I prevent the use of this non existing microphone?
I guess you are using PulseAudio which would mean to use "pavucontrol". It allows to define the _default_ device on the _Input Devices_ tab. This should work then for all audio application which honor the _default_ device settings you defined in "pavucontrol". Unfortunately, I have seen PA to sometimes ignores its own defaults from time to time. So, when it goes wrong, re-check the settings in "pavucontrol". HTH, cheers. l8er manfred
