I'm trying to set up a laptop with a VoIP softphone (I've tried both Zoiper and Skype) and it's proving impossible to get it to work with microphones. As I can't get my desktop to work properly with microphones either, I'm assuming it's software-related. So, a brief summary: Fedora 8 with KDE, default sound setup (i.e. pulseaudio/alsa) various different soundcards including a USB one that I know works just fine on a Windows machine. The system recognises the USB input port (based on syslog entries) and is happy to assign it as input to the application but no sound gets in. Playback is fine. I suspect it could be related to permissions in /dev but I tried chmod 666 on /dev/dsp* and it still didn't want to play. Any clues as to what to look for next? As an aside, I remember trying to get Audacity to take sound input on my desktop and that didn't work either.
