Microphone not working in Skype (Ubuntu 8.04)
Hey all.
Found this howto/guide and it didn't work at all . Anything else works in Ubuntu Hardy (I386) - that's including the microphone settings when using my headset. Have installed Skype-static from medibuntu.org. Have no internal mic in laptop. Any suggestions? Best regards Stardustdk |

cheers, jdk |
Make sure that you (or medibuntu.org) have not mixed up the Skype-static-OSS with the Skype-static package. One uses OSS as the sound system (the older audio subsystem), the other uses ALSA (the newer audio subsystem).
You can also try installing the Skype shared version from Skype.org directly. Linux Archive |
Thank you both for the help, now it is working :)
Best regards Stardustdk |
How to make microphone work!
The only solution to make microphone work is to install linux-backports-modules-alsa-generic...
Just go to: Menu / System / Administration / Synaptic Package Manager And search and mark for installation: linux-backports-modules-alsa-generic tip: if you have multiple versions click on the first and read the description which should inform what name to install... If after the reboot and mic mute is off, still does not work, just go to terminal and type: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and add or change the following: options snd-hda-intel model=auto enable=yes Then Ctrl+X, type Y to write and exit, reboot and mic will work. Bye and have lots of fun with Ubuntu (the best). |
Don't tell me you didn't notice this thread is 3 years old (3 years and 3 days actually) and hasn't been posted to in that time (3 years and 1 day). Also you obviously don't know yourself that Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron from memory) hasn't been supported for 12 months so it doesn't matter what the OP does now he couldn't/shouldn't update or use it anyway.

Don't mind, he has posted the exact same text to any thread regarding audio he could find until he was stopped by a moderator.
