My experience with sound (esp. Microphone) on Linux: Get rid of Pulseaudio as fast as possible. Fixed it for me with Suse 11.1, 11.2 and 11.4.

As i tested my skype service on lenovo z570 opensuse 12.1, i heard a rather disturbing noise. I have tried to fix the microphone audio channel, by inspecting devices through Kmix, but i am not an expert at all. What i can report is: Capture device is 'Internal Audio Analog Stereo' , with volume almost at its max level. Capture Streams shows no device.
In the system settings, Phonon seems to be ok. Same noise, switching from gstreamer to xine backend
Any ideas?
Any microphone testing utility?
thank you Paolo
I find that getting rid of Pulse Audio is the most surefire way to screw

Horse manure :-) . The first thing I ever do is to get rid of pulseaudio - or at least disable it in YaST Hardware/Sound[#] - and install alsamixergui and then configure my sound card. Pulseaudio is an abomination - but some people swear by it. I swear AT it. At this moment I am running 12.1 with NO pulseaudio in sight. All my sound works: TV, music, DVD, and in glorious 5.1 sound (if the medium has it). [#] I don't remember if it was an earlier version of oS or another distro which I tried but pulseaudio could not be removed: it was solidly tied to alsa and refused to be removed; but in 12.1 I am able to remove it.
