aerogate Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 in Kmix, have you selected the microphone to record mode? it varies depending on your soundcard, on mine i need to have microhone set to record, and capture slider all the way to the top, also activate mic boost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcal Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 IMO Skype has been pretty problemistic on Linux in general. I haven't tried it on 2007 Official yet as I don't need the stress. But, I'll give it a go in the next days. I got it to work on 2006 but it was a bit of a challange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerogate Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 It runs much better if you delete hangup.wav or rename it, solves problem with sound server Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gowator Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 in Kmix, have you selected the microphone to record mode? it varies depending on your soundcard, on mine i need to have microhone set to record, and capture slider all the way to the top, also activate mic boost You might also want to check the 3rd tab in kmix if available....(switches) and sometiomes there is a switch that converts between the mic plug being a mic and 6 channel surround etc. The best thing is calling yourself and playing with the settings because sometimes the text is not so helpful..

Ceco Posted October 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 i have selected Record mode and +20 db but it is still the same.No change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Does your microphone work in any other application, is it just Skype that has problems? Also check that the 'mic mute' switch (if there is one) on the microphone or on the cable isn't muting. Running 'alsaconf' may help too.

Ceco Posted October 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 When i click on the green point in kmix the microphone works and whan i talk i heard myselve at my speakers but others cant hear me.Under Windows it works perfectly.
