[Bug 437192] Re: No microphone in skype
The only solution to make microphone work is to install linux-backports- modules-alsa-generic... Just go to: Menu / System / Administration / Synaptic Package Manager And search and mark for installation: linux-backports-modules-alsa-generic tip: if you have multiple versions click on the first and read the description which should inform what name to install... If after the reboot and mic mute is off, still does not work, just go to terminal and type: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and add or change the following: options snd-hda-intel model=auto enable=yes Then Ctrl+X, type Y to write and exit, reboot and mic will work. Bye and have lots of fun with Ubuntu (the best). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/437192 Title: No microphone in skype To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/437192/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 437192] Re: No microphone in skype
Couldn't get Skype to work on Acer Aspire 4820T, Ubuntu 10.10. Sound Recorder works, so Mic seems to be working in general. One weird thing, though: in the Sound Video Sound Input Menu, there is no way to test the Microphone. There is something that looks like it could be an sound level indicator, so I just assumed it is always in test mode. But I never saw anything happening, so it is a rather confusing dialog (did nothing happen because the Mic doesn't work? Or what?). Might be better to have an explicit Test button. It is also confusing if the Microphone works in Sound Recorder, but not in the Mixer (Audio Input Menu), if that is the case - is the Sound Recorder App using something else? How else to REALLY test the Microphone setup? Unfortunately this was on my mother's notebook, so I don't have access to it right now. Providing more specific information is therefore difficult. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/437192 Title: No microphone in skype -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 437192] Re: No microphone in skype
One more thing: I tried the Post 18 fix, but I am not sure if I actually tried it with Skype. I tried it with Google Talk, and there seemed to be some audio coming through to the other side. It was very low volume and noisy, though, so barely usable. There were also feedback loops, not sure if that is a problem of the Acer hardeware or a software problem. This bug is actually a deal breaker for me, as I specifically bought the notebook for mum so that she could do video chat with her grandchildren. I blame Skype rather than Ubuntu, but still, it is a shame. I also look stupid in front of my friends, who kept telling me I should just leave Windows 7 on the system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/437192 Title: No microphone in skype -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 437192] Re: No microphone in skype
Here is a very useful, drastic, and 100% effective solution to getting Skype 2.1 working on any Ubuntu distribution, thanks to Patrick on another thread: Every time you want to start Skype, type the following command in a Terminal (opened from Applications/ Accessories/ Terminal): sh -c PULSE_SERVER=127.0.0.1; skype A more permanent solution is to cut-and-paste the following commands into a Terminal: su cat EOM /usr/bin/skype.sh #!/bin/bash # bypass horribly buggy pulseaudio export PULSE_SERVER=127.0.0.1 exec `dirname $0`/skype.bin EOM cat EOM /etc/rc.local SKYPE=/usr/bin/skype grep -q 'horribly buggy' $SKYPE || sh -c mv -f $SKYPE $SKYPE.bin; cp -f $SKYPE.sh $SKYPE EOM Feel free to adapt this to other applications which need to escape from pulseaudio -- No microphone in skype https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/437192 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
