I am sure the hardware is OK. With some trial and error I had the whole system working last week! But yesterday I did a yum update, which installed the pulseaudio sound server again, and afterwards the mic was not working anymore. I tried to remove the pulseaudio server but ended up with an unbootable system (don't ask me how I did that). Anyway, I did a clean install, installed skype back, but now I'm stuck without microphone. I don't know how I fixed the problem last week, but it was more like a bit of trial and error. However, I did that yesterday and this morning, but it's not willing to cooperate this time :) > Then somewhere in Knoppix (been a while since I've used it) it may tell you > exactly what the hardware is etc and then that gives you a head start in > looking for the drivers. > > Don't know if there would be somewhere in knoppix virtual file system (proc > in memory I think) that tells you what the driver values it used are? > (This bit is beyond me here... just quessing) > > Ben > Steven > > > > steven bellens wrote: >> >> Hey guys, >> >> 2010/3/10 Ken Foskey <[email protected]>: >> >>> >>> On Wed, 2010-03-10 at 00:22 +0100, steven bellens wrote: >>> >>>> >>>> Hey Daryl, >>>> >>>> probably something similar here, however the solution you suggest >>>> doesn't have the right result here.
