** Description changed: Alright, so a little background. For the past few days, I've been attempting to get my internal mic and internal speakers to work on my system. I have seen other people post about this on random forums, and other places, but no absolute fix for it. Today, I tried to replace PulseAudio with ALSA, and making it the default driver. So, I made the file ~/.pulse/client.conf and put "autospawn=no", and rebooted. This successfully kept PulseAudio from starting, as it should have. At this point, I noticed that the sound menu wasn't working. Went in, and it had the slider disabled with the label above it saying "Label Empty". After clicking on Sound Preferences, I got a message "Waiting for sound system to respond". Well, then I went into Skype and tried to use ALSA, since it was allowing my microphone to work. Made a test call, and it worked fine. After a little while, I tried to call a friend and test it. Wouldn't work. Just a bunch of static. So, I decided to try to use PulseAudio one more time. So, I ran "pulseaudio -D", and it completed successfully. After it started, I could see that the sound menu had re-enabled everything like it should be. Restarted Skype again, made a test call, and the mic worked. I was surprised, since it was using PulseAudio again, and it hadn't previously worked. - Just as my hopes were getting up, about 10 minutes into the call, the - microphone stopped working again. Went into the Sound Preferences, and - (again) it's not showing any input from the internal microphone. + Just as my hopes were getting up, about 10 minutes into the call, the microphone stopped working again.
