Microphone Recording distorts..of a .

[jpelorat]

Hi,

I'm the happy owner of a panp5. Recently decided to use Skype to communicate with some friends. Configuring the microphone options through the Skype test procedure I realize that everything that is recorded gets distorted as it was done by a sick Darth Vader.

My system details are:

Laptop-> System 76 Pangolin Performance (panp5)
OS-> kubuntu 10.04 64 bits
Audio Hardware-> ALC662
AudioModule-> Intel HDA

Any idea on how to deal with this or what can be possible going wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Ziggy...

Can you try recording with a different application? Let's see if skype is the problem or your configuration.

Thanks for your reply.

I didn't think of trying other applications. Lazy me! I tried with Audacity and the voice recording went well. It means is a Skype Issue.

I'll see if I can get skype going on a computer here and post a screenshot of my configuration.

Thanks. I've been trying to look for a solution through Skype, but nothing so far.

Sounds like that is the problem. Can you find out exactly which version of skype you're using?

I installed PulseAudio and the "Jabba the hut" sound distortion issue in Skype went away.

Iḿ using the Skype version 2.1.0.81

Thanks... This works but the audio through Phonon stops working when Skype is active. I could work it out using Skype alone when needed and Amarok and the other stuff when Skype off. Now I'll try to find a way to make PulseAudio and Phonon work together without disturbing each other. any ideas?
