pacman -S skype made microphone in ventrilo not work[Solved]

Well, thats about it, after i installed skype trough pacman ventrilo won't record my microphone (neither VMware or wine) but it works fine in skype.
[edit]
Ok, now It's fixed
I did
pacman -Rd alsa-lib alsa-oss alsa-utils alsa-drivers wine skype
and rm -R /dev/snd  ; rm -R /dev/sound ; rm /dev/dsp
rebooted
rm /etc/asound.state
reboot*2
pacman -S alsa-lib alsa-oss alsa-utils alsa-drivers wine
reboot
all ok.
I probably didn't need all that or all those reebots but it made it work.

Oh, I also removed my ~/.wine

Try these:

$ alsamixer

Use right and left buttons and "M" to open microphone then:

# alsactl store
# echo "alsactl restore" >> /etc/rc.local

For the record, intead of doing that, you can just add alsa to the DAEMONS array of rc.conf.

Re: pacman -S skype made microphone in ventrilo not work[Solved]

Microphone works fine in skype, only thing that happens if i unmute it is that i can hear myself when i speak, no change in ventrilo.
And I have alsa in the deamons list so that can't be the problem.
It just does not work in ventrilo anymoore.
Is there any way to check what the pacman installation of skype did to my system?

update the ABS tree on your system, and you will see the pkgbuild for skype.

(if you don't have an abs tree yet, do pacman -S cvsup first)


Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

Uhm, checked out that now and I can't find anything it does to my mic.
I'll go ask in the skype forums.

Re: pacman -S skype made microphone in ventrilo not work[Solved]

ok, No response in the skype forum.
so, how do i reinstall my sound(microphone) compleatley?
I tried pacman -Rf alsa-lib but that didn't work coz xmms and other applications used it (still, force is supposed to uninstall anyway, right?)

I find nothing about microphone only so I guess it's called something else or that it usually works if sound works.

Re: pacman -S skype made microphone in ventrilo not work[Solved]

forcing only overwrite files in the case of file conflicts. You need to use:
pacman -Rd alsa-lib
to skip dependency checking.

Ok, removing and adding alsa-lib didn't help.
