I am trying to pick up some pointers on how to set up audio and
recording (microphone) settings. I want to use Skype and it works but
the audio quality and volume of output is very low. And more
irritatingly the microphone pick up is very low. Even wihen I use
headset and external mic there is very low clarity.
I have tried various settings under volume control and alsa mixer.
Pointers would be welcome.
Similar system under M$ system works perfectly for using skype with
need for headphone and external speaker.
I am using ThinkpadR61 with Ubuntu 9.04
I use skype a lot in Ubuntu 9.04. But I use pulse for everything(output,
ringing), except for microphone.
For microphone I use the hw devices that show up in skype. Using
microphone via pulse shoots up the cpu usage and causes delays in audio.
Also ensure that all kind of mic boost etc. are turned off. They cause
more noise than signal.
