Microphone no longer works for Skype on Fedora 21 4.3

Microphone is no longer recognized by Skype 4.3 after the latest updates for Fedora 21.

I already had to move from i586 RPM to dynamic package to get Skype to work at all - but he ultimately everything works including mic.

After the last update of Fedora 21, which included alsa and pulseaudio fixes, microphone no longer works in Skype. I tested several other applications that are configured to use pulseaudio like Audacity and Linphone, and the microphone works in each of them.

Answered my own question. On one of my machines the problem proved that Skype could use my microphone only if it was the only input device activated under PulseAudio. While other applications use fortunately some audio available, Skype seems to have been confused in the face of any kind of choice. The solution is to disable all other audio inputs and speficially to configure my external USB mic as the sole entry. In addition I had to change the Audio setting integrated full-duplex stereo analog stereo output analog.

I wasn't so lucky with my laptop, where I use the internal mic and therefore can't change Audio settings integrated (it must be defined as a Duplex for the microphone and speakers/headphones to work). For this reason, I am now unable to use Skype on my laptop. Accordingly, I am now exploring the possibility of using the SIP/XMPP voice and video with a client open source, which was too bad I was a customer/user of Skype for many years.

  • My internal microphone no longer works after that was plugged in a mic

    Hey guys!

    I bought the HP Envy 13 spectrum (13-2113TU) earlier, and everything was smooth and functional until yesterday when I plugged it in one of these headphones with the MIC designed for phones in the 3.5 mm plug. For a second, that it did not work, but after that the external microphone worked fine. However, I find that after using the earphone, the internal microphone no longer works on Skype or any where else and it seems there is no way to test whether it is functional or not.

    In the audio Panel, there is only the stereo mix and microphone option external availible under recording devices. I checked the boxes that says see the disabled and disconnected devices but there seems to be no way to activate the interal peak. All audio drivers are up to date and nothing is cut.

    Nobody knows what is happening and what are the steps I could take to solve this problem. Thank you.

    Hi Shabab,

    I understand that your internal microphone no longer works after that a microphone is plugged into your HP Envy 13 of spectrum. If you follow this document on the microphone does not work after a webcam or a microphone USB is installed, it should solve your problem.

  • Photoshop "in edit...". "no longer works for my DNG files

    OK, I have read many discussions on this topic and tried all the solutions given, but the option no longer works for me because I've updated both programs.

    Open a DNG by LR in photoshop open Photoshop, however, is no longer opens the image and so I can't save as PSD thereafter.

    It's completely dead my workflow because all my pictures are stored as RAW/DNG files

    After a chat with Adobe Support all issues have been resolved:

    Apparently, when you use an external source for your photos, this is the case for me save space on my local drive and for security and backup reasons, once I had problems seems to happen.

    The solution is quite simple: unplug the external source, import a random picture to LR by using the import function 'Add', open it in Photoshop using "change in". It worked flawlessly and subsequently when you reconnect my main source for the photo I have, I could again open DNG files in photoshop using the function "change in" LR.

    Adobe support thank you!

  • Microphone no longer works after installing Windows 7 Ultimate

    I recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop Acer Aspire Timeline (exact model Acer Aspire Timeline AS4810T-8480 14 inch HD laptop screen). I noticed that once I installed it, my microphone/sound stopped working. I have no problem listening to the audio, but I think that the microphone was affected. When you use Skype, that is the message that appears: "micro problem: there is a problem with the microphone into your computer." Try plugging a USB headset for this call. I know he's had no problem with my microphone before I installed Windows 7 and had been using Skype without problem. Can someone help me solve this problem? Thank you.

    Hi Ana

    Yes, first you recommend to contact ACER to your hardware mic problem.
    try to update your sound driver from device (right-click on computer management<>
    or download the Audio driver from the ACER site
    If persists
    uninstall the Audio driver and install the driver updated again, reconfigure the Mic and test the question.
    I hope that the problem will be resolved quickly

  • The Tab key no longer works for allows me to go between the text entry boxes

    After updating to the new version of Firefox the Tab key is no longer work when switching between the text fields to enter information such as shipping address, name and stuff like that where a simple TAB could sail between the text boxes.

    Hello benpierce25, try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    The user.js file does not exist by default. If you create the file, forget it, if you don't have not create the file, and then remove the User.js file, to see if the problem goes away (some programs create and write to the file also).

  • The retina of MacBook Pro - camera is no longer working on Skype

    From today my camera stopped working on Skype. When I start a video call, I get the camera icon on the bottom with a big red line through it.

    In Skype preferences under Audio/video I can see the camera in the selection menu ("FaceTime HD (built-in camera"), but the below video window is black.

    The camera works very well on PhotoBooth and FaceTime.

    I even tried to install older versions of Skype, thinking it's maybe the newes update, but nothing works.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    The camera works again!

    I think I may have found the problem. He could be the address book. I had updated some photos for contacts and since function also allows access you the camera to take a picture of yourself to your own contact information (because I could forget what I am looking for as and then at least address book can remind me!) who may have blocked the camera.

    Whatever it is, I got my camera back!

    Thanks for your time!

    Try a system restore before that happened.

    How to do a system restore in Windows 7
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html

    =========

    If necessary:

    It's probably the pilots who are responsible and who may not really be later or they need to be
    re-installed anyway. The best way is to manually review using the methods below.

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    Control Panel - device - SOUNDS - look for HD Audio Manager - Mine said RealTek High
    Audio definition (this is an example and you can have an other name/maker).

    Write the description and the model double click on it - tab drivers - write down
    Version. Now click on update drivers who cannot do anything as MS is far behind certifying
    drivers. Then CLICK RIGHT on it and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver
    stack.

    You can have the default windows or a former certified pilot and it's all or part of the
    issue.

    Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of the system and get the latest Audio/Sound drivers - download - SAVE - go to
    where you put - right-click on Reboot - RUN AS ADMIN-

    Check the Version tab of the driver in the Device Manager as the restoration of the sound card drivers often
    and then install the latest version. Restart and check after each test, not
    rare to have to run the pilot of 1 to 4 times or more. Just the version make sure you
    installed shows upward on the tab of the driver.

    Go to the site of the manufacturer of the device, and then search for the even more recent drivers and install repeat
    operating mode. Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - click on - RUN AS
    ADMIN - Reboot

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers to 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above is)
    to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are are preferably)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    After the updated driver.

    Click with the right button on the speaker near clock - recorders - right click in the box - check see the
    Disconnected devices and show disabled devices - check your micro - highlight
    then on lower right properties. Make sure that the appropriate injector is selected and check
    other parameters - levels tab make sure that MUTE is disabled and APPLY / OK to change
    .

    Also in the search for some Audio Manager Panel (perhaps named after the manufacturer of the sound driver). Mine
    is the RealTek Audio Manager, yours can be quite different name if you have one.

  • G60-243 cl microphone no longer works

    G60-243 cl microphone has stopped working. He has worked in the past. I'm assuming that a windows update created the problem. This netbook has an AMDTURION double heart rm72, 2100 mhz processor. Running vista home premium. I checked all the evidence concerning the internal mic. I am aware that the problems exist on some computers laptops hp. I have deleated the audio device from Device Manager and installed the drivers and the new device. The mixer volume shows that the microphone is working correctly. Used an external mic with the same negative results. I used the HP site for troubleshooting. I used Mr. Fixit from microsoft as well. Does anyone have a solution to this problem. Thank you

    After many hours I finally understood the question my own, as I move the display to the screen in the closed position, I noticed that the mic has started working. After years of opening and closing something finally relented. Does anyone know if the MIC is wired contacts or friction?

  • Simple connection going to log on to the computer, but no longer works for site Web connect you.

    I have a HP Pavilion computer dv6 laptop windows 7 and it was working fine a week ago, took it with me on a trip and it stop working for my site log ins. I have to manually connect and is no longer, he asks me if I want to have the simple pass to remember this password.

    It still requires my footprint to connect to my computer, but that's all.

    Any suggestions?

    You can certainly try the update.

    You want to make sure that you are on the latest version of HP SimplePass anyway - it's the most stable versions.

    As long as you're NOT using Ddigital Persona, what follows is valid.  Although she was sometimes called by the name Sesame over the years by HP, the DP is not the same software as SimplePass.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Open Control Panel > Device Manager > open biometric devices >

    Right click on your validity sensor driver > Uninstall ( NOT delete)

    Reboot the laptop in a way the pilot can relocate that you connect to

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Download this new package SimplePass and double-click it to install just above your current version - that is to say, do not remove your software SimplePass existing, just load this version on top of what you have now.

    Hey coolasc,

    If you have a lot of updates come through, you want to make sure that the BIOS is one of them.

    BIOS stands for Basic Input/Output System/Service. It is the language that all the hardware components of your computer use to communicate with each other. There are updates coming out from time to time for this and it would be better to have the latest version. The following steps have been taken from here.

    1. Windows 8: from the home screen, type "msinfo32". Click msinfo32 in the list of results.

    Windows 7 & Vista: click the Start button, type "msinfo32". In the list of results, click msinfo32.exe.

    1. Subject to halfway down on the right, look for the Version of the BIOS/Date.

    3. copy and paste the information to the right of the Version of the BIOS/Date in the value column, in your answer.

    The latest version on the Page of Drive HP laptop your particular is F.66. It could be that a lot of other than the BIOS updates came through and just BIOS didn't cross quite yet (if this is the case, it would be nice to manually install the latest version). If you have a version higher than F.66 by chance, return to F.66 just download and install it.

    The BIOS being outdated or just not synchronized with other updates that came through, would certainly provoke a question like that.

    Please let me know if you have any questions or if these suggestions helped (it could help other people with the same problem). I'll keep an eye out for your answer!

Maybe you are looking for
