microphone dead in skype
I was running Mint 17, but bought new PC and installed 17.1. Sound works fine, and I can record sound. But I cannot send through Skype.
I have been Playing with suggestions found in Google. There has been no response in the Mint and Skype forums. It may be specifically a Skype problem and this is not the place to ask. But it is worth a try.
The libasound2-plugins were installed with Mint. I am using the latest version of Skype for Linus 4.3.0.37.
Since most of my family lives in other countries, Skype is pretty important.
Thanks for all suggestions.
José

José:
similar to mine:
Code:
System: Host: my-kungfu Kernel: 3.13.0-37-generic x86_64 (64 bit) Desktop: Xfce 4.11.8
Distro: Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca
Audio: Card-1 Intel 7 Series/C210 Series Family High Definition Audio Controller driver: snd_hda_intel
Card-2 NVIDIA GK106 HDMI Audio Controller driver: snd_hda_intel
Sound: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture v: k3.13.0-37-generic
IDK what the hell I'm using as I have front and rear jacks. I guess my Video Card came with an audio chip?
Here's a screenie of my skype settings for Sound Devices.
You may wish to move or rename the ~/.Skype directory. Shutdown skype first.
How was it installed exactly?
I have these packages installed:
Code:
sudo dpkg -l libasound2-plugins
...
||/ Name Version Architecture Description
+++-=======================-================-================-====================================================
ii libasound2-plugins:amd6 1.0.27-2ubuntu2 amd64 ALSA library additional plugins
ii libasound2-plugins:i386 1.0.27-2ubuntu2 i386 ALSA library additional plugins

Thanks Habitual and beachboy2
Yes, I found that those plugins were necessary, but they both are installed. Sooo... the problem has to be other.
I installed Skype using Package manager. Did the same earlier with Mint 17, and had no problems. But this time...
