Ubuntu – Logitech USB Headset does not work correctly with Skype

skypesound

How can I configure Skype to correctly use my Logitech USB Headset microphone?

I use Skype 2.1(Beta) with the following USB Headset:

input: Logitech Logitech USB Headset as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.2/usb8/8-1/8-1:1.3/input/input6

generic-usb 0003:046D:0A0C.0002: input,hidraw1: USB HID v1.00 Device [Logitech Logitech USB Headset]

Check if you've configured the capture device (in Sound Preferences > Input) to your desired usb headset. You may also wish to 1) disallow Skype's managing your microphone levels; 2) unmute your microphone and raise the level to an amplified one (also in Sound Preferences > Input). Note also that if you're using 10.10, you'll need the latest updates installed for linux, alsa-lib, and pulseaudio.

Where I have had audio problems and connection issues I have found the using Pulse Audio Volume Controller usually helps if you are nervous of using alsamixer which is still good

Here you can set what inputs and levels in a little clearer method

First install it in a terminal sudo apt-get install pavucontrol Then hit alt + f2 and type pulse and up should come the launcher for pulse audio which you can use to make sure your soundcard and inputs are all correct

I would post an image of it working but only just started on here

To make an external device available as audio sink and to switch to a playing stream on plugging in we may need to add the following to our /etc/pulse/default.pa (for pulseaudio >= 1.0):

load-module module-switch-on-connect

This needs a restart of the pulseaudio server to take effect. If daemonized to auto-spawn (this is the default) we can easily perform this with the following command:

pulseaudio -k
