Then- Audacity was turned on.Fact: Sky set mic to 0. Fact- the computer was shut down.Then, Fact: -my friend Sky came over-Yes, she is my neighbor! Computer was rebooted. I do not clearly recollect, but I know I clicked on the speaker at the bottom right of the pMusic window and then clicked bypass equalizer. Fact:- Having heard that you should check and see if you can play from 2 sources at the same time, I summoned pMusicand played a cd and Youtube simultaneously. Fact: All bars were turned up in retrovol ( I had come across people who had success when they turned mic boost up and mic down- but in my case-!!).Fact:-Being unable to Skype, had just spent $20.00 phoning India- I believe that this is the true secret to the success of this endeavor. Wish me luck!Ĭap-mic shot.png (30.28 KiB) Downloaded 166 timesįact: No Mic boost listed anywhere.Fact: Retrovol slide bar for mic does not control alsamixer bar.Fact:-Alsa is still not listed on Audacity screen.Fact: One driver, not two, but twice! I.e., same number but one analog, one digital. It must be why, when I run Audacity, there's a blank where it should say Alsa. So I guess maybe I do have to figure out if I have the correct source. little things hidden everywhere! of course, will have to think a bit to understand the rest of what you said-and to test things out again- I have tried both a usb mic and a pink-socket mic, I but you know how it is- I had better make sure.-and it's 2:00 am and I'm cross-eyed now)-Yes, it was Watchdog's package that got me any sound at all in the first place!! But I will study out what you said and see what happens! Hey, Watchdog, I just found your last entry- sorry- a joy to hear I can just delete that little triangle instead of obsessing about it! Hm, one interesting fact is that when I move the slider in Retrovol for the mic, the corresponding one in Alsamixer doesn't move. Oscar Talks,Thanks! - I found the capture! and the mic, in Alsamixer. I know the thread with instructions has become rather long but it is worth taking a bit of time to study it.

As an alternative there is my version of Skype for Lucid but you also need the package for Lucid and you may need to do a bit of editing of the config file.

If you want to use a USB mic it will appear as another different soundcard on the system so apulse may not be suitable (How can we select the non-default card, anybody?). Which Skype package are you actually using (where was it from)?įor Lucid Puppy, watchdog's package with apulse should be the best option if you are using an internal mic or a mic plugged into the pink jack socket because these will use the default soundcard. You need to make sure you have selected the correct source as well as pushing the fader up. Retrovol should normally show everything in one window. That alsa mixer looks like it is only displaying the playback controls and you need to press F4 to show only the capture controls or F5 to show both playback and capture together.
