My apologies beforehand if this is a common issue, but I have next to no experience with Ubuntu. I have a regular microphone hooked into my MoBo onboard sound and it works fine in Ubuntu (tested using a sound recorder). When I launch Steam, and any game within, I cannot get my microphone to work. I haven't tested this in other programs in WINE since I don't have anything else installed that uses a microphone, so I'm not sure if this is Steam-specific or a WINE problem in general. I would greatly appreciate any help, since I use voicechat quite extensively and feel lost without it! Thanks!

And I remove it by the roots. sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio But there are kinder ways to stop it, like using pasuspender. Susan

I thought I had tried this by killing the process, but apparently removing it outright and then rebooting does the trick!
