I installed and set up skype. The chat feature works. I tried to get it to use the camera as the sound input, but it will only take the plug-in microphone. It says that pulse audio is managing my sound, so I downloaded pulse audio manager in yast, but I don't know what to do with it.
I tested the skype video also. My video is really really dark, but not totally black. It is dark when using skype, but on wxcam, it has a good, clear, bright video.
Ok, I know I haven't given a ton of technical specs, only general things. I am wanting to figure out how to: 1 - get skype to be able to use the microphone from the webcam
Install Pulse Audio Volume Control (it's helpfully called pavucontrol), and find your camera microphone in the Input Devices tab. Your soundcard should show up there as well. You may have to select them in the Show dropdown.
