Nero D. Ace Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 so, i have a normal headset w/ microphone that i occasionally use to converse with some relatives abroad via Skype.however, ever since i've started using Ubuntu, this damn thing refuses to send my voice out! i can hear what they're saying but they can't hear me.I checked with an Audio Recorder program that's pre-installed but it still won't record anything.now, i've checked the Sound Preferences window and the Mic is detected by the computer. however, when i do a sound test on it, none of the bars light up. I checked it on Windows and it works like a charm. so, can anyone help me out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† L4ugh Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 The only thing I can think of is check the input tab in Sound Preferences to make sure it isn't muted and that the right connector is selected. If it isn't the mic and the drivers are installed then it has to be either a bad install of drivers or a setting in Sound Preferences that isn't right.

† L4ugh Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hey i can easily roll back on my windows right?....If you mean like windows recovery type thing, no you can't, because ubuntu will format and install itself on the partition/hd you select. You can do a duel boot though, by installing ubuntu on a different partition then windows is installed on. I think the only way to share files between linux and windows is threw samba, but I don't really mess with this so I could be wrong.If you are really wanting to try linux out, I would just try a live cd/dvd. It boots and runs off a cd/dvd so you never have to worry about messing with your windows installation. If you like what you see, then you can worry about trying to learn a new OS you will never have to pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightraven Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Linux has samba which will allow you to connect to windows shares on the network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jªvª Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Ran into this problem alot with Ubuntu, exspecially owning various Creative Sound Cards.So lets start, what audio chipset are ya utilizing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolockit Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 You need to check what driver lolubuntu designated for your device, and decide if it was the appropriate choice. If not change it.Open a terminal and check lsusb, then get a more verbose output for the specific bus the device is attached too.Going to take a guess and say it's a USB Mic. If it's the microphone port of a sound card, you'll need to check lspci. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
