CentOS - May 2005 - Microphone problems with Skype

Hi,

I have CentOS4 and this soundcard:
00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60)

I installed the Skype rpm for Fedora3 and it works but the quality of
my voice is very poor: volume is low and the voice sound doesn't have
the high frequencies.

Did any of you made Skype work perfectly under CentOS4? How?

Thanks,
Adrian

I used to have to have such problems. Open up a console when logged in
init 5 and run kmix. This is the audio related application. Fire up
your mic and increase the volume.
Perhaps this is the reason why your voice volume is too poor.
In case you have not installed KDE, as this is a KDE appa (I think),
there shoud be something like this for gnome.
Best Luck,

Hi there!

I have the same card:
00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. 
VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60) and it works without 
problems on Skype (also the FC3 RPM).

Kind regards,
Angelo
