Normally, Skype picks up sound from microphone. Or, more correctly, from “PulseAudio server (local)”.
In addition to my voice, I would like to transmit to my Skype party audio from the computer’s sound card’s “Line In” input. I would like to combine, or add, those two sound streams and supply to Skype as a single input.
I have made an attempt to speak into microphone while supplying analog audio to Line In, but only voice from the microphone was picked up in by Skype.
How can I accomplish this? In kmix, pavucontrol, Yast and Skype I couldn’t find a place to combine audio inputs. I suspect I need to use an .asoundrc file, but I don’t know how to proceed.
Here is basic information. I run opensuse 13.2, updated. Use KDE and kmix. pavucontrol is installed. Pulseaudio is running. Microphone is a USB mic. The sound in the computer works correctly. I don’t use the sound card 2 (NVidia).
