Ubuntu
alsa-driver package

I cannot record sound nor use Skype, I cannot reproduce sound from CD--only from sreaming. Ubuntu 9.04 Toshiba U405D S2848.

Asked by Pablo

Skype will not capture my voice, nor can I record. I cannot play music from CD. The only sound reproduction is from streaming vía internet. Pulse audio is installed. What to do? I have a Toshiba U405D-S2848 with Ubuntu 9.04. Do I have he settings wrong? Do I need a codecs? I am lost.

Hi :)

There's a handy worksheet worth working through to get all your multimedia working
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu

I tend to go with all non-free components but in some countries you might want to take care if that means you are supposed to pay licence fees to someone. Mostly the problem with non-free is that bugs are less easily resolved whereas OpenSource is faster for that.I find non-free components tend to be easier for just working without any fuss but one day hope to be able to free myself and go completely OpenSource ;)

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
