<font face="Verdana">Well I successfully got Opensuse 11.4 up and
running on my acer intel laptop with ATI sound. Everything works
really well with many speed improvements especially noticeable now
kde4.6 is the desktop. Well that is except for skype 2.1b2
because Opensuse have now swapped to pulseaudio (dammit). Can
anybody tell me what I should be doing to assess what is going
wrong that my pulseaudio skpe cannot use the internal mic (the one
just above the laptop display)? btw, all other sound recording
apps seem to be working fine, it appears to be just skype with the
problem.<br>
<br>
pavucontrol:<br>
I have tried having pavucontrol open to check for mic usage with
its usage meter but it seems they have set opensuse's sound system
up so that pavucontrol takes TOTAL control of the sound system
while running so no other application can access the sound! All I
get with sound recording apps when I try to run while pavucontrol
is up are "cannot access sound device..." type messages.<br>
