I have been trying to follow the advice in various Ubuntu threads suggesting
work-arounds for the problem of getting the
internal microphone of a Dell laptop (Studio 1558) to function with Skype, a
program which although not part of the Ubuntu project, is nevertheless quite
useful to me. When I updated recently to Ubuntu 11.04 the problem appeared,
whereas under
Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 Skype compatibility and functionality was fine. I have
tried manipulating the Sound Preferences dialog parameters, as well as invoking
alsamixer (gnome and terminal versions) and Pulse Audio Volume Control, setting
one channel
of the i nternal mike to 0% and the other to 100%, but so far without positive
result on my ability to hear my own voice when I make a Skype test call
(everything else, including video) seems to be working fine. There is, of
course the "work-around" to use
the chat facility of Skype to exchange brief comments, but, obviously it's
better if my call partners can hear my voice, especially
since I can hear them. I am wondering if the problem is related to
compatibility with Banshee. In any case all suggestions would be appreciated.
