gnome sound preferences doesn't see mic


Hi all,

Something broke recently on my Fedora 14 system. Up until several weeks ago, the mic worked fine, but now it is no longer recognized.

That is to say, if I tap on the mic, sound comes out of the speakers, so the hardware is working, but it doesn't work under Skupe nor does it show up as an input device under Gnome.

Thinking something may have broke in a recent kernel, I went back to an earlier, but the problem remains (now running 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64, but I have the following installed).

Any ideas on how to get Skype and Gnome to see my mic again?

Thanks

Do you have pulse-audio installed & configured ?

I had a similar issue in Debian and installing that cleared it up.
