Hello everybody :slight_smile: having problems using Skype. Whenever I login my speakers volume are automatically reduced to zero. During calls other people are able to hear me but I don’t hear anyone. Speakers muted icon keeps appearing, and even after I push it’s volume up, it stays muted and nailed to zero. I am new to Linux and not very good with prompt commands. I tried all the solutions from google searches on this topic. I opened alsamixer in terminal and checked all the volumes. There seems to be 2 sound cards: HDA ATI HDMI which has no output according to alsa, and HD-Audio Generic which I am using. This dude had the same problem and its solved but some of the commands do not apply to my prompt https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=231283

What distro/version are you using? If it's one that use Pulse Audio (most do these days), install the Pulse Audio mixer (pavucontrol--it should be in your repos); it gives you more granular control than most standard volume control interfaces). Then let us know what happens.
