thanks, I had the same problem and I was crazy... now is working

Hello,

I am still having issues with sound recording...

In Skype, no matter what microphone I use, the playback (once Skype replays what you jus said) is awful, suttering a lot, kinda like a bad reception on a cell phone.

I followed the guidelines above. My settings the following:

In system -> Preference -> Multimedia Systems Selector:
Default output:
Plugin: Custom
Device: none
Pipeline:halaudiosink udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_8086_27d8_sound_card_0_oss_pcm_0_0

Default Input:
Plugin: Custom
Device: None
Pipeline: halaudiosrc udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_8086_27d8_sound_card_0_oss_mixer__1

In system -> Preference -> Sound Preferences:
HDA Intel ALC269 Analog (OSS) for sound events/Music and Movies/Audio Conferencing. Playback and Capture. (for some reason I have two of these that show in the drop down list).
HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer) for Default Mixer Tracks.


System is a Eee 900a - 4 Gb SSD - 1 Gig ram. Running Skype "stand alone" 2.0.0.72

Help please

okay, i had this problem for ages (distorted, low volume mic) and just fixed it.

1. DO NOT change default audio to OSS as one post suggests (can damage speakers)
2. remove pulseaudio and all other unnecessary audio systems (just need alsa) - pulseaudio and oss were coming out distorted
3. in your ubuntu system prefs change the multimedia devices all to ALSA
4. in Skype options change all the devices to (hw:intel,0) and hit apply ("apply" button may be hidden off bottom of screen)
5. adjust audio in volume settings - make sure that Line-In and the others are all no more than about 80% volume.

it worked after that

Hi guys...

Thanks for your useful suggestion. I recently purchased a EX-190 Sub Mic. It's really a nice setup at very affordable price.
