That would indicate that the indicator / icon is working. > I could not use Skype and other recordings since microphonbe is not working. try using alsamixer -$ alsamixer see what volume your mic has been set too, by default it would be at zero, change it higher. Regarding skype using the preferences / options menu to change you settings and see what works by making a test call. Regarding your Acer Aspire 4745 problems it seems you are not alone see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9843681 unfortunately for the time being atleast it seems that this laptop poses problems with comapatibility to ubuntu see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9810229 ** However hope that the newer release - 10.10 would solve some of these problems, usually does, ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
