Skype - Distorted Microphone Input
Jan 22nd 2013, 15:28

Hi guys,

Skype has not worked completely yet for me since installing OpenSUSE 12.2. It worked with 12.1.

While I can hear perfectly what others are saying, the audio records my voice heavily distorted which is how I
hear it when using the Skype Testing Service. My voice more or less sounds like some demonic being in the
movies :) ...heavy and low.

Now if I record from arecord instead, my voice sounds completely normal. Here is the command that works:

Code:

arecord -vv -f S16_LE -c 2 -D hw:0,0 new.wav
Skype is set to use the same audio input explicitly. If I set it to default, then there is sound being recorded at all.

Any idea why would Skype not record correctly and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance,

PS: Let me know if there is any other information required to diagnose the problem.
