My Mic doesn't work on my toshiba
Hello everyone,
I recently installed skype on my rhel 6.0, 64 bit. But the problem is, my mic doesn't work. The sound comes out through the speakers of my Toshiba laptop even though my external mic is plugged into the mic ports. I can hear the other end (from the computer's speakers not from the head set of the mic) but the other end can't hear me. I went to system preference, sound, input and nothing is muted and when i talk through the mic the input level bar doesn't move. I typed arecord --list-devices and lsusb and i got the following results. Can anyone tells me what to do to get my mic works? Note that i use windows 7 on the othe partition and the mic just works fine. I searched the internet and i'm confused.Thank you.

Run alsamixer, and check to see what's muted, and perhaps adjust the levels. Have you tried anything to record sound, outside of skype, like arecord? Are you using alsa or pulseaudio? And again, have you contacted RedHat support???? You're using RHEL, so you're paying for support, right? If not, you shouldn't be using it. Also, unless you have a genuine NEED for RHEL, a 'consumer grade' distro would be far better. Server distros are meant for SERVERS, not laptops or the like. Things like sound/mic/bluetooth aren't found on servers, so support in RHEL is spotty, and for good reason. |

Well first of all i am paying for a self support subscription so i have access to updates and packages through the red hat network. But i can not call them or e-mail them on any problem. The reason why i'm using rhel is because i want to be red hat certified i.e i want to take the exam to be a red hat engineer so i was advised to start with it. Now my mic seems to be working because my friend called me and he could hear me clearly but i can't hear him. And the input volume bars on sound preference are now moving as i speak through the mic but i can't hear anything. I typed alsamixer @ the terminal, and a window popped up and i selected my device(Intel HDA). S/PDIF is OFF, don't know what it is nor how to turn it on.Any help? thanks oh i'm using pulseaudio |
