I don't think so. |

After installation of alsa none of the microphone channels |
| 28 |
get captured (recorded) by default. Even when you can hear |
| 29 |
them in the headset they do not get captured. Try the |
| 30 |
following: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Alsamixer starts up and shows just the "Playback" channels. |
| 33 |
To see what is getting captured press key "F4" when |
| 34 |
alsamixer is running. This shows the "Capture" channels. |
| 35 |
Then go to one of the microphone channels (maybe named |
| 36 |
Capture or Capture 1), and press your space bar to toggle |
| 37 |
the capturing. |
| 38 |
There should appear the word "CAPTURE" in red letters below |
| 39 |
the microphone channel. If capture is inactive then there |
| 40 |
are white dashes (-------) below the channel. |
| 41 |
You can activate all your microphone channels for capture. |
| 42 |
Now you have your microphone captured, and can record sound |
| 43 |
and use skype. |
| 44 |
gnome-alsamixer is another graphical mixer, which I like |
| 45 |
better then alsamixer. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
If this does not work post the output of |
| 48 |
amixer |
| 49 |
here. |
