If Fedora Core supports 'dmesg' :-| Are there any error messages about sound/audio in the output of dmesg | grep -i sound dmesg | grep -i audio ? >Thankyou people, >How can I check if the mic works locally? > Place the microphone near the speaker.

Is the 'mute' button cleared? > My soundcard is a Creative Labs SB Audigy. > Do you know how to issue console commands as user 'root' ? Do you know how to save the result of console commands to a text file? Do you know how to paste this text into an email? lsmod | grep snd lsmod | grep snd > snd.txt lspci -v | grep -A 5 audio lspci -v | grep -A 5 audio > audio.txt > There is a >skype forum with instructions on there >( http://forum.skype.com/viewtopic.php?t=4489&sid=e246be97d68352110b84ca587836357b ) but to be honest not for lack of trying I'm nearly linux illiterate and can not understand what is going on. I know this is my fault so I am not expecting a babysitter. > >I can not find modules.conf or modules.d/alsa that the guide speaks of. > > Where did you look? How did you look? I find my 'modules.conf' in "/etc/". /etc/modules.conf Perhaps Fedora Core does not use 'modules.conf'. :-| HTH, Chuck > >Thank you all. > > - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
