Problems with Skype microphone on Thinkpad R61i
with Debian Linux again and fix
Once again, I experienced
Skype microphone issues!!! Its
getting really annoying, since almost randomly I get issues. Skype
is a terrible program and depending on a proprietary thing like
Skype is a real pain in the ass.
This time it was totally strange as there was no way to record any
voice inside Skype Call while testing with
(Echo / Sound Test
Service)
After a lot of puzzling and getting a bit angry I found this time
the issues are caused by some settings which somehow changed in
GNOME Sound Preferences microphone to mute:
You see on above screeshot that somehow the stupid thing get mutted

After unmuting and
restarting Skype, the
microphone
started working in Skype again ...
