HI folks,
Hope there is some advice out there.
I have an Asus Eee 1201n which is running Karmic very well, had a couple of issues with wireless but thanks to Realtek support for Linux they released a driver that works perfectly with more recent kernels (2.6.31-20). Quick side note, if you are running this netbook do yourself a favor and try "rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0015.0127.2010" before you use NDISWrapper etc.
OK, back on topic. Last thing I have left is the built-in microphone (NVIDIA ION HD Audio). GNOME Alsa Mixer sees it, so does the GNOME sound panel, Skype sees it as well but no go. I have tried Alsa backports to no result. There is a thread in these forums for a script (Alsa upgrade script) and although I thank the dude who wrote it I am paranoid as he explicitly says:
"The script is not in line with Debian/Ubuntu rules for package handling. It just overwrites existing files. You won't see any changes on the ALSA package-ids within Synaptic!"
And this scares me just a bit. I am about to try this script as I am just plain tired of Skype with a BT headset (my wife calls me a cyborg) so before I kick it off I thought I would ping the "Gurus" and see if there are any other suggestions out there.
Thanks in advance!
Hank.
Solved... Installed the pulseaudio utility and set the 2nd mic channel to 0.
