iA HAVE A msi P35 neo otherboard which has software controlled in outputs it works fine with GNOME deskrop suse 11.1 but skype does not work i have choosen default en intel etc but it does not work anybody got an idee how to fix this?
I have more detailsthe onboard soundcard is a Realtek. You can choose in skype between different intel alc default etc. but nothing works. The headphone does not work at all by no programs .Is tere a special realtek driver i could not find any.
in my opinion you need to catch the attention of a guy in these forums
named ‘oldcpu’ he is quite a sound expert and he usually hangs out in
multimedia forum (i think)
http://forums.opensuse.org/applications/multimedia/
i’d suggest you first use the forums advanced search function to find
and read all articles with Skype in the subject…you might just find
your answer…
i’d then post anew in the multimedia forum, and mention the things you
have already tried, unsuccessfully…
by the way, i think oldcpu will first ask if you have checked your
systems volume level settings in yast and whatever is the name of
gnomes version of Kmix (sorry, i do not know its name, but there is a
gadget inside the control center that MAY need a switched turned on,
or a slider moved up…OH, there is a “mic boost +20db” in my Kmix
that MUST be on for my mike to work with Skype…have a look at that,
THEN search if that don’t fix, THEN post only if other notes you find
with search are unhelpful)…
enjoy,

Reference your mic, what are you using for a recording test? I typically use:
arecord -d 10 myrecording.wavand then a play back “myrecording.wav” with a nominal player.
Reference skype, I never use it and can not help with that software.
Reference your headphone, did you check carefully your mixer settings ? Did you try working your way through the openSUSE audio troubleshooting guide? SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE
Assuming no headphone sound, can you provide more very detailed information so a good recommendation can be given? You can do that, with your laptop connected to the internet, by opening a gnome-terminal or a kde konsole and typing “su” (no quotes - enter root password) and then and typing and executing twice :
/usr/sbin/alsa-info.shthe first time it will ask to update. Select YES for the update. The second time that will run a diagnostic script and post the output to a web site on the Internet. It will give you the URL of the web site. Please post that URL here. JUST the URL.
Also, please copy and paste the following commands one line at a time into a gnome-terminal or a konsole and post here the output: rpm -qa | grep alsa
rpm -qa | grep pulse
uname -a
cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound
Note, I am on vacation, with only very intermittent internet access. I nominally live in Europe. I am currently on vacation in Bangkok Thailand, having just returned from a 3day/night vacation in China (MaCau, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong). I head off to Phuket Thailand tomorrow (there is no Internet where I will be staying … so it could be days before I reply).
