I am running Fedora 20 amd_64 . I just setup a Logitach HD webcam C310. Audacity can record from the webcam, so I know it works. Skype video works, but no audio on the test call.. I've tried a bunch of fixes from the web, nothing seems to work for skype. Is it me?

Make sure Skype is trying to use the webcam's mike as its input. If you have Skype set to use Pulse, then try pavucontrol (PulseAudio Volume Control on your desktop Applications->Multimedia menu) and verify that Pulse is using the camera's mike. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Polygon: A dead parrot (With apologies to John Cleese) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Note that fine-grained PulseAudio control is part of the optional 'pavucontrol' package that you may need to install first. It's a useful utility that I sometimes install as well for multiple sound card machines.

Until you have pavucontrol fixed there is a command line approach. I think this should work: $ pacmd list-sources ... find out the number N for your webcam (look for "index" at the start of a section mentioning its type, or do something like: $ pacmd list-sources|grep -E "device.product.name|index"
$ pacmd set-default-source N
To move a particular one (e.g. skype) once already started, $ pacmd list-source-outputs ... find the number M for skype. Or something like: $ pacmd list-source-outputs|grep -E "index|application.name"
$ pacmd move-source-output M N ... should move only skype (output M) to the microphone (source N)
I've reconstructed this from what you'd do for sources, for which the equivalents would be: list sinks set-default-sink list-sink-inputs move-sink-input http://askubuntu.com/questions/71863/how-to-change-pulseaudio-sink-with-pacm...

after trying to set sources & sinks, now I have no sound in skype.. so I have to log off & back on to get sound back.. but first I'll send this:) maybe the list-source-outputs with no sources is the key??

well, after setting that default source, and setting a sink, I now have no sound anywhere. I rebooted, and still no sound. Now what do I do?

to work sound in Skype in Fedora 20 you must edit file:
sudo nano /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop
and change:
Exec=skype %U
to:
Exec=env PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 skype %U
then restart Skype

:( Sorry about that.
While you're making a test call Skype should show up as an output. For me this looks like: $ list-source-outputs|grep -E "index|application.name" index: 3 application.name = "PulseAudio Volume Control" index: 4 application.name = "PulseAudio Volume Control" index: 5 application.name = "PulseAudio Volume Control" index: 6 application.name = "PulseAudio Volume Control" index: 12 application.name = "PulseAudio Volume Control" index: 13 application.name = "Skype"
I'd misunderstood and thought you had no microphone recording, it sounds like you have no sound altogether. To move the microphone for Skype only I'd do: $ pacmd move-source-output 13 1 (To move to source 1)
If Skype doesn't show up at all while making a test call then it's not connecting to Pulseaudio. You need the alsa-plugins-pulseaudio package installed that matches the version of Skype you have (686 or x86_64, also this is why you have two pulseaudio-libs installed, one 32bit and one 64bit copy). Try ldd on the skype binary and see if it contains a line like libasound.so.2 => /lib/libasound.so.2 (0xf763c000)

you really mean : $ pacmd list-source-outputs...
I got $ pacmd list-source-outputs|grep -E "index|application.name" pbc@pauls-server:~$
I'd misunderstood and thought you had no microphone recording, it sounds like you have no sound altogether. To move the microphone for Skype only I'd do: $ pacmd move-source-output 13 1 (To move to source 1)
so when I tried a skype test call I got: $ pacmd list-source-outputs|grep -E "index|application.name" index: 3 application.name = "Skype" pbc@pauls-server:~$ pacmd move-source-output 3 1
but as soon as the call ended I still have no sound., and every time I run it the index is different.

my problem is, PA volume control crashes.. I can't use it. I tried Mate volume control, but it doean't have the options PA volume does.. unless I switch to a different DM to run skype.. I haven't tried xfce.. maybe I'll try that & see if PA volume works.
