Did you check the mic volume in kmix and alsamixer? My laptop mutes
my volume when I reboot for some reason, so I suppose it possible that
something similar is happening to your mic volume.

Mark I don't know if it's just skype. The only program I need a
microphone for is Skype. To answer your hardware question. I have a
Gigabit GA K8NF motherboard with everything OB except the monitor
card which is a NVidia.I have a AMD 3500 CPU and 2 giga ram. Hope
that info is useful.

The kmix seems to be configured ok. Nothing I can see as not
configured correctly. I;m not sure how to see the configuration of
alsamixer.

I had the same problem ... I lost of lot of time finding what it was
!

I don't know if it the same for you, but in case :

click on speaker icon

then look on tab in for your micro and check it's on right option

for me it was installed on front but I am using rear, changing front
with rear everything went ok !!!

I can tell you i spend a lot of time to find this out !!! But i had
formerly a pc working with front so i checked and it was it !

So maybe you have the same problem ?

regards

Henri

mmmm. Getting no recording on audacity.

When I try to open kmix the icon bounces for a few seconds and then
closes. I cannot open kmix. Tried re-installing & rebooting but
no change. Looks like my problem is there.

I can control the speaker volume from the icon on the panel, but no
kmix.

Now what?

The icon bounces because KMix is already running - it's the icon in the panel. If you click that icon you'll get a volume control. At the bottom should be a button you can click to open the mixer. From there you should be able to select which input to use for recording.

Thanks Mark. I opened the kmix and am now starting to play with
various combinations of hardware and setting possibilities.
Meanwhile to no avail. The sound can be heard but no microphone.
Will continue to experiment and report but my feeling is that the
whole configuration is wrong. Maybe "pulseaudio server (local)"
which is the only option I have in skype for sound isn't correct. I
don't know.

Have you checked in System Settings - Multimedia - Phonon to make sure
your hardware is "enabled" the correct chosen, especially (needless to
say) for the microphone input?
