skype 4.3.0.37

I can hear sound but it will skype will not identify or use my Microsoft Lifecam 2000 microphone.

I see that there is a pulse sound interface and puppy must use it some to enable the sound to be heard. But I don't see any way of directing pulse to interface with my microphone source.

Thanks.

Are you using the apulse skype in quickpet or a pulseaudio skype? How did you install skype? If you use a pulseaudio skype as explained here:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=892153#892153

then you should change in /etc/pulse/default.pa the following lines:

Code:
load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:1,0
load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:1,0


or maybe:

Code:
load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:1,0
load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:2,0


depending on your hardware.

EDIT: type in console:

Code:
arecord -l


to see the right mic device.

I am ignorant of your case. I think you are using the apulse skype in quickpet. I would try to change the line in /etc/pulse/client.conf:

Code:
;default-source=


in:

Code:
default-source=hw:2,0


(be careful to delete the semicolon at the beginning of the line...). I cannot say more. Wait for more skilled help.

I did some tests in a live session of tahr 6.0.5 and I have successfully used the pulseaudio skype with the webcam mic. I do not know how to achieve this result with the apulse skype but I can explain what I did in my case.
Follow the installation of the pulseaudio skype as explained at:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=892153#892153

Use in /etc/pulse/default.pa:

Code:
load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:1,0
load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:2,0


(these settings are for auricolar and the webcam mic card 2)

Install the pavucontrol-test.pet at:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=844321#844321

Open a console and type:

Code:
pulseaudio --start


Then launch Pulseaudio Volume Control from Multimedia menu and go to input tab; tick and untick for deactivating and activating the webcam mic. Then launch:

Code:
skype4.3


Make a test call. It worked for me. Note that it is possible the need to run fixmenus and restart X to see the new softwares in the menu.

Thanks for your guidance I downloaded the pulse audio and skype pet and it identified the Microsoft Lifecam 2000 microphone without changes.
