Microphone and Alsamixer

tb75252 · 03-15-2018, 09:24 PM

I am using Slackware 14.2, 64-bit.

Every time that I want to use Skype For Linux, I have to launch alsamixer, F6 to select my dedicated sound card, press the space bar for Front Mi(crophone) and Mic(rophone) channels, and increase the volume for the Input channel. After that the microphone works with Skype.

The problem is that the settings do not stick, even after having issued the command

Code:

alsactrl store

What do I need to do in order to have alsamixer permanently store the settings? I also tried PulseAudio Volume Control but nothing there made my microphone work.

Are you issuing the command, alsactrl store, as root?
