[SOLVED] Can't get microphone to work

Hi everyone, I'm trying to get my microphone to work so I can use Skype (which installed very easily btw). Headphone and speaker sound works fine. I know it's not a hardware issue because the mic works fine in Ubuntu 10.04 and Debian. My sound hardware is the onboard chip from my mobo: http://tinyurl.com/2d79c4d - a Realtek ALC888
I've unmuted both 'mic' and 'front mic' in alsamixer, but neither of them work when I try to record via arecord or Skype or vocaroo.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Various things I saw people post wrt to their own sound issues:

[SOLVED] Can't get Steam to work, VirtualBox installation

Hello!
I'm having problems with getting Steam to work on my Arch Linux installation. I'm new to Linux so I'll just give you a prehistory & console output. I installed the distro on a virtual machine created in VirtualBox, installed xorg & KDE, I didn't install any video drivers because this is what wiki says:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox#Installation_steps_for_Arch_Linux_guests wrote:Note: You do not need to also install a specific video driver in the guest system. Install the Guest Additions instead.
So I installed "virtualbox-guest-utils" package, created a file /etc/modules-load.d/virtualbox.conf with the following contents:
vboxguest
vboxsf
vboxvideo
Then I executed
sudo systemctl enable vboxservice
and rebooted the system. After the reboot I got the shared clipboard feature working => VBox Guest Additions seemed to work. Then I installed "steam" package, launched it via the terminal and waited for it to download it's updated. After Steam downloaded everything, I tried to launch it once again via terminal and got this:

and a GUI window saying "OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display". I tried to find a solution on the internet but they all mentioned installing Nvidia drivers. And VirtualBox GPU != Nvidia GPU.
Is there any way to solve this? Steam is working on my Fedora-VBox (this is the distro our lecturer uses as an example to teach us about Linux) installation out of the box.
EDIT: forgot to mention that system is x86_64, multilib in enabled, 3D acceleration in VM settings is enabled.

Can;t get microphone to work

Hello folks! I have a Hercules Dualpix Exchange Mic connected to my Lenovo Desktop. I have downloaded Skype and have run the visual test (which worked) and the microphone call test (which did not work). I am not very computer minded so I am not really sure what to do to correct the problem. I did a troubleshoot run on the Hercules Dualpix and the computer told me they could find no problem with the device. I have had Skype in the past and used this very same device. It had the same problem, but a visitor with more computer sense than myself fixed it.
Any suggestions?
Thx

I too have been fighting to get the microphone to work on Skype. The speakers work fine but people are unable to hear me when I answer. All settings are on so I am unsure as to what the problem is. I even purchased a new mic from Staples and it was the same problem so returned it and back to the original so it is not a faulty microphone. Any help would be appreciated as this is getting very frustrating. Thanks

[SOLVED] Can't get curl to work, among everything else

No matter what form I put curl in, I can't see to get it to work. The various manuals I've read through <man> and online have all shown me different examples, but none work.
I've tried <command> | curl -F 'sprunge=<-'http://sprunge.us' and it does... nothing.
I've tried substituting ix urls and pastebin urls but it does nothing.
I feel like a complete moron because everyone expects me to instantly understand what all this gibberish means, and no one else seems to have a problem uploading command text online.
I've had trouble every step of the way installing arch, and its taken me four hours to slug through each problem. Right now I can't start fluxbox for some reason, but I can't get the errors here except for what I write down.
Heres the error for that
Xmodmap: unable to open display ''
Error: Couldn't connect to XServer
I've tried redirecting xmodmap to the keys but it did nothing. I've tried figuring out this xserver thing but my retardation has apparently gotten in the way.
Is this normal? Does everyone feel like an 90 year old when they first jump into arch linux?

Did what you said. PCM was the only one muted.
Oddly, I recently started having the opposite problem. KDE startup and other systems sounds have stopped playing. All my other sound (mplayer, flash, etc) work fine. I can play the startup sound fine when opening it via dolphin. It just doesn't play on startup, or any other system sound. I know this happened after a recent update but I am not sure what or when caused it. Startup sound isn't that important to me but fixing it is. No luck so far.

Yes, sorry about the editing, i just spent 10 minutes looking for the edit buttons and then the submit buttons, my new style made them invisible:P . I had a thought though. Before i installed gnome i had installed firefox, could i have installed a second copy while installing gnome or done something else to cause me difficulty? I like firefox but i guess i'll try getting flash to work in some other browsers and see how that goes. Also, firefox isnt detecting any plugins in its add-ons section, perhaps thats a clue?

The kernel module for
Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+
is 8139too I think
So /etc/rc.conf should be like this
# HARDWARE
# Scan hardware and load required modules at bootup
MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
# Module Blacklist - modules in this list will never be loaded by udev
MOD_BLACKLIST=()
# Modules to load at boot-up (in this order)

MODULES=( 8139too forcedeth sk98lin slhc ac97_bus snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-seq-oss snd-seq-device snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-hwdep snd-$
# Scan for LVM volume groups at startup, required if you use LVM
USELVM="no"
The first one is 8139too, so it will be eth0
In my example the second one is forcedeth for nvidia ethernet controler, so its going to be eth1
Don't forget to edit /etc/resolv.conf

[SOLVED] Can't get DE to work with catalyst

Hey everyone,
I got problems getting KDE/Fluxbox running. I've installed the latest catalyst drivers (11.6) from AUR. "aticonfig --initial" created the xorg.conf for me, which seems to be ok but it gives me this error:
Found fglrx primary device section

I got two Radeon HD5850s. Is it necessary to connect those two cards with the crossfire cables? I did, but I think it doesn't make any difference if I don't, it's probably unrelated to my problem. When I try to "startx" this is what I got:

1- remove your catalyst an catalyst-utils driver build from AUR.
2- remove fglrx from your modules, in my experience you don`t need it there unless you`re using catalyst-daemon.
3- I recommend you use the Catalyst repository:
[catalyst]
Server = http://catalyst.apocalypsus.net/repo/catalyst/$arch
4- Be sure to remove /etc/ati/
5- update repositories and install catalyst and catalyst-utils from there
6- finally follow this part of the wiki:
After installing package you probably need to configure xorg. Using provided aticonfig tool is recommended:
# aticonfig --initial
(or for Dual Head: # aticonfig --initial=dual-head)
And add nomodeset to your kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst , ie.:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda1 ro nomodeset
You may now reboot your system.
I hope that works, also if you want you can ask in the The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill thread.

[SOLVED] Can't get Echinus to work

Hello Arch users,
I have installed Echinus from the AUR, but it doesn't seem to be working, or else I'm not doing something correctly. I am using the example config from the Echinus Arch wiki. I am using Slim as the display manager, and have configured Slim correctly as far as I know. According to the Echinus Arch wiki, I am supposed to copy everything from /usr/share/examples/echinus to either /etc/xdg/echinus or to my home folder. However, there is no /examples directory under /usr/share on my system. Is this perhaps a depricated option, or am I missing something?
Here is an excerpt from my slim.conf pertaining to echinus:
echinus)
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session echinus
Any help is appreciated.
Last edited by hyperreal_logic (2012-06-04 19:03:02)

Don't reinstall yet. If echinus is in /usr/bin, it built and installed correctly.
When you say you see a black screen with a cursor when you start echinus with .xinitrc, do you mean a movable mouse pointer?
If so, go back to using .xinitrc and startx; a blank screen with a movable mouse pointer is exactly what you should see when echinus starts. We can deal with your login manager issues later.
If not, please tell me exactly what you see, and skip to step(5) below.
Some simple rule out questions. First, run startx to start echinus.
1. When you see the movable pointer and blank screen, what happens if you press ctrl-alt+q?
2. Do you have xterm installed?
3. If you have xterm, what happens if you press alt+t when you see the blank screen with movable pointer?
4. If you don't have xterm, install it and try step 3 again.
5. If none of these steps produce any useful result, switch to another tty and post output of
ps ax | grep echinus
If you get hung up again, you can kill echinus from another tty with
pkill echinus
(you won't need to reboot).
I built echinus from the AUR yesterday and can run it successfully from .xinitrc/startx, so we should be able to fix this. I'm pretty sure I know why it doesn't show up in LXDM (it doesn't create a .desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions), but we'll get to that later.

Hi. I followed the wiki on how to set up cups and add a printer. But it's not working. Here is the result of

It works now. I'm not 100% sure what fixed it, but my guess is that it was blacklisting usblp
Here are the steps.
delete the printer using cups if it is already installed (this is what I didn't do at first, and what caused me to waste a couple hours screwing with other config files).
open /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf and add this line to it: blacklist usblp
reboot.
add the printer using CUPS (this time "Local Printers" showed my Canon MP730 as an option)
Cheers,

[SOLVED] Can't get DHCP to work with wifi

On my recent install my wireless connection won't work with DHCP. If I use static IP I can associate with my AP and all is well but with DHCP wicd-gtk goes through the connection process and then just says "Not Connected". Any ideas?

Have you tried connecting manually with wpa-supplicant?
The wiki says this
If wicd repeatedly fails to get an IP address using the default dhcpcd client, try installing and using dhclient instead:
# pacman -S dhclient
I'd try manually with wpa-supplicant and if that works try the new dhcp client
