Fedora 7 'issues' (microphone)

[Michael Hartley]

Hi!

I'm trying to use Skype beta 1.4.0.99, under Fedora 7. My sound setup is :
ALSA driver 1.0.14, with card VIA 8235       and chip Realtek ALC650F.

Besides the fact that I often have to go to the mixer to set things up
properly, I find that even with Mic Boost (+20db) on, the sound is just not
loud enough. People at the other end have trouble hearing, unless I talk
very loudly.

It was ok under Fedora 4.

Does anyone have any suggestions I could try?
