What's the output of 'equery -q u skype'?
Run the alsamiser command line shown below on your card ID, and make
sure you don't have anything muted there.
alsamixer -c 0
# '-c' sound card ID. You can find the correct IDs by running 'aplay
-l', which comes from media-sound/alsa-utils.
equery -q u skype
-apulse
-pax_kernel
+pulseaudio
By default skype is using "pulseaudio" (poor choice) and it will not let you
select input device for sound.
The solution that works is to emerge "pavucontrol" Pulse Audio Volume Control
Under "tab" Input Devices in Pulse Audio Volume Control there should be entry
for a web-cam; in my case it is Web-Cam C270
On the right there is a button: "Set as Fallback" it should be enabled.
The skype will not show in Control USB audio input option but the call sound
with skype will work.
Question:
How do you set alsamixer default card?
By default it goes to pulseaudio whey I type "alsamixer"
I want to set it to "0" as default.
