built-in mic doesn't work with Skype
hello, I was just wondering if someone can help: I installed Ubuntu Lucid and I installed Skype. All good, except for the fact that my built in mic doesn't work with Skype and if I use external microphones (I just tried with iPhone headset to test) the volume is extremely low.
I have both ALSA and Pulse Audio but I cannot select ALSA from the menu (in Skype) so I guess some file is missing but I don't know which one.
My built in mic works perfectly well under Windows 7, by the way.
I am using a Sony Vaio NS11 Series, Windows 7 and Ubuntu Lucid. Skype in use is the beta version 2.1.0.81.
I know I could buy an external mic but it seems to me just stupid everything works absolutely smooth and fine except this little thing.
Could you advice please?
Thank you so much in advance.
Best
Claudia
