By default skype is using "pulseaudio" (poor choice) and it will not let you select input device for sound. |
| 25 |
The solution that works is to emerge "pavucontrol" Pulse Audio Volume Control |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Under "tab" Input Devices in Pulse Audio Volume Control there should be entry for a web-cam; in my case it is Web-Cam C270 |
| 28 |
On the right there is a button: "Set as Fallback" it should be enabled. |

The skype will not show in Control USB audio input option but the call sound with skype will work. |

Question: |
| 33 |
How do you set alsamixer default card? |
| 34 |
By default it goes to pulseaudio whey I type "alsamixer" |
| 35 |
I want to set it to "0" as default. |
