    I forget to mention, that a non usb audio device, like my Logitech 600 microphone works without any problem, but I hate using it cause the background noise, which I tried to fix, but I never had a clear sound like my Philips spc1300nc. Thank U for UR time..

  • @AmjedUbuntu It's possible that it's a bug with ubuntu 11.10, however if you watch the video very, very closely, you will see what you're doing wrong. ;)

    Quoting you: " select My Philips webcam as a default input" <---this is wrong -- this is a per-application setting. Setting the input is not going to last. So for Skype, you need to do a test call (watch the video) and then once Skype associates everything, you're good....

  • @AmjedUbuntu ...also, with all of the tweaking you've done, it may be best to just start over with a clean install. Not 100%, but you've done waaaay too much stuff that is bound to mess things up a bit. Be wary of the forums. Often, they're wrong. ;)

  • This is off but, what theme are you using? It's awesome. Also is that AWN at the bottom?

  • @krum303 It's just some wallpaper I found, the theme itself is on Linux Mint and is called Mint-X-Metal.

    Yeah, I have AWN running both top and bottom of the page. :)

see all

  • @ctsdownloads Awesome, thank you! I just switched to Mint 11 from Ubuntu and I'm really digging it so far.

  • part2

    the only way is to unplug the usb then reboot as soon as I login, i open the sound applet, plug the usb then select My Philips webcam as a default input, but as soon as I close the sound window pulse audio looses the input. I'm thinking it's some kind of bug, that I did report but no solution, yet. Do U know what could force pulse audio to swap and not hold the input device selected???

  • Part1

    Ok, see if u can help me. I upgraded to ubuntu 11.10 and my Philips spc 1300nc audio stopped working. my webcam works but not my integrated micro. I tried "Pavucontrol", sound, pulse audio manager, alsa mixer, alsa-gstreamer properties, alsa-base file, alsa_blacklist, default.pa file, /etc/libao.conf file. Everything is correct, but no microphone working.
