I found the below solution (at least to my Skype problem) on another forum. It allowed the internal mic work for me. Why PA is having this issue I have no idea. Definitely still a set of bugs that could use some attention. Hope this works for everyone as well as it has so far for me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Install the package 'pavucontrol' using Synaptic Package Manager, or by Code: sudo apt-get install pavucontrol 2. Find 'PulseAudio Volume Control' on the 'Sound & video' applications menu, and start it. 3. Click on the 'input devices' tab. 4. Click on the padlock icon to uncouple the sliders for 'Internal Audio Analog Stereo'. 5. Move one of the sliders all the way to the left, and one all the way to the right. (I minimised the Front Left slider, and maximised the Front Right.) 6. Close the control and that's it! The padlock icon gets reset every time you start pavucontrol, but the sliders stay as set unless you touch them again so that's all right. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/447259 Title: Internal microphone not working with certain programs -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
