I recently installed GNOME onto my Debian web server (other PC died so I wanted a desktop).
I'm a total Linux Desktop beginner, I managed to get Skype installed - but Linux appears to not like my Mic.
The Mic / Speakers are on-board, speakers work fine, but the mic just makes a high-pitched squealing noise.
My question is: How should a GNOME beginner go about fixing this?
Is the mic actually built into the computer? Or are you referring to an onboard sound card? – Joshua Nurczyk – 2009-07-15T16:41:22.757
Does the mic not work only in Skype, or in any app? Which version of Skype are you using? Can you describe the error you get? Do you see any sound input devices in the Skype dropdown list? – None – 2009-08-17T22:25:46.590
Onboard sound card. On the front it's got headphone/mic, on the back it's got headphone/mic/line. When I get home I'll find out the make/model of Motherboard... – Dean Rather – 2009-07-19T23:52:12.470
