Yes, that's also what I have, with the addition of PulseAudio making its own party... > Camaleón, what is the ALSA module line in the base file that loads Your > driver? - I'm going to try to add several additional switches - that > occasionally appeared during turning on the mic. :o) I have none set, I use the stock "alsa-base.conf" file with no added tweaks but despite I can see several devices when I choose the Intel HDA card from alsamixer, I can't make the Mic to goes out from Speakers. > I try to use my mic. w/ Ekiga - tried to test it w/ its test numbers - > one should echo my speech but I hear nothing - only robot's voice. > Though I see local volume meter changes as I speak - do not know whither > it comes to ekiga side... Ekiga provides some tips for configuring the audio: http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Troubleshooting#Audio_problems http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Audio_setup Anyway, I wouldn't test the mic using Ekiga. I say this because the voice quality can be severely affected not just by the application/sound configuration/mic but the SIP/VOIP number you're calling because not all ISTP provide low jitter and packet loss levels which are vital to obtain a crystal clear audio. Also, note that for these kind of services (Internet calling) is better to use a well-engineered and quality headset/device (I'm very happy with my Plantronics ".Audio 626 DSP"). There's a highly noticeable difference :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
