Hi Gang: I have Skype on FC4 and yesterday I D/L Skype for F7 and
it was a RPM that installed with no problem. But I can hear the
other person but my audio is not getting to Skype so the other
person can't hear me.
I looked for Volume Control all over F7 and found nothing! I have
exactly that on FC4 so what has happened?

Try: alsamixer
I have frequently found that one or more of the volume controls
displayed there will fix the type of problem you are experiencing.
Hi and I did find alsamixer and after reading man alsamixer I learned
how to use it. But I turned on EVERYTHING and still the Microphne
signal to the software Skype is dead. I can change the audio level I
hear FROM skype. My mike is plugged into the sound card and it works
fine in FC4. In F7 it's the same sound card!
I have another problem. About half the time I bring up F7 it does not
come clear up. The background comes up fine but the upper and lower
bars do not form and the things on the DeskTop are not shown. But I
received some updates with no problem. I get out of the darn thing
with Ctrl Alt F2 login as root and type reboot.

Hi Karl,
I have this problem occasionally, the problems seem to be with the
wrong devices being selected for the mic. So I installed audacity.
Everytime I think i am running into this issue, I launch up audacity
and check that the input is set to mic, and then try and see if I am
successful in recording some sound. Once I have confirmed that, I then
launch Skype and it seems to autodetect the mic and works perfectly
fine from there on.
I hope this option helps you out too.
later,
Rogue
Hi Rogue,
I assume I can yum audacity so will try it and see if it helps.
Alsamixer has Mike 1 and Mike 2 and I have no idea what a mike plugged
into the soundcard is called! Also I turned up things and then tried
Skype. Perhaps I should have killed Skype and then made changes and
bring it back up.
