Skype: Unable to talk WITHOUT the use of a headset
Hi. I've downloaded Skype (Beta) version 2.1.0.81 in Ubuntu 9.10 and I can chat / write to people - no problem. I also use Skype in Vista which I run along side Ubuntu on my PC (Dell Inspiron 1545). When I talk to people via Skype in Vista I have NO need for a headset - I just talk to the PC and people can hear me fine and vice versa. But, in Ubuntu I can't talk to people. When I do the sound test in Skype I can't hear my own voice. I have checked the sound settings over and over again in Skype, tried different settings in Alsamixer and in Sound Preferences but, I can't get it to work. I have also looked on the internet for advice and followed the advice given by different people on audio settings but, I still cannot get it to work. Does anyone know if it is only possible to speak to people (via Skype in Ubuntu) with the use of a headset? Or would it be possible to change / adjust / download / install anything so I could talk to people without using a headset?
