ever since I installed compiz on my computer to get the awesome desktop effects I've been having weird audio issues. Sometimes it won't ever play any sounds until I log out and back in again. this I can kinda live with as I don't often restart my computer anyways.

However the microphone seam to be sounding awful now. My friends told me that they cound't even chat with me on skype because of how bad my sound was.
I use TeamSpeak for my gaming and I tested out the settings. In pulse audio I lowerd the front left and right in the input device.
This works great almost better, my friends told me they got a clear sounding me again with no problems. However the same could not be said for skype.
It seams to fall back on it's own settings or atleast some kind of default.

I am kinda stuck idk what to do. I wish I could just set it up universal for all applications and save it and then not have to worry about it.

Any helps fixing this? I am ready to do almost anything
