I've managed to get Skype set up and working. I can hear the other person talking, but she can't hear me. During a conversation, I tried what I thought to be all possible settings in both the "Volume Control" application and in Skype itself. But no joy.
To make matters more puzzling, I had skype working on this same machine last year using CentOS 5.6... or maybe it was 5.7... I don't recall. And I've successfully recorded my own voice with this same microphone on Audacity.
So is there some secret to getting the Skype settings right?
Or are there some (other) tests I can run outside of Skype to determine what the I/O settings within Skype should be.
Any help is much appreciated.
This might be sound-hardware dependent, and architecture-dependent as well.
Here, on a Dell Latitude E6500, Skype 2.2.0.35 32bit installed (with tons of 32bit stuff including sound libs, I can't remember where I grabbed the install tips from exactly) on an up-to-date CentOS6 64bit.
In Skype settings: Sound Devices -> Microphone: PulseAudio server (local) <- anyway there's no other possible choice Speakers: PulseAudio server (local) <- .. Ringing: PulseAudio server (local) <- .. [x] Allow Skype to automatically adjust my mixer levels
