[SOLVED] USB webcam mic not working in Skype after pulseaudio install

I've followed the advice in the wikis
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/skype#Skype_sound
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Al … ure_device

but it's still not working.  Hoping someone can help me troubleshoot.  I did a test video using guvcview and the mic worked fine and the video had audio.

_______________
Solution:

Uninstalled pulseaudio

Installed apulse from AUR

Created and edited ~/.asoundrc as per https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Al … ure_device

Invoke skype:

$ apulse skype

Do you have pulseaudio installed or not? both of the solutions you posted are intended to be used if one doesn't want to use pulseaudio and both aren't necessary if you are actually using pulseaudio.

Try using apulse (lib32-apulse) in AUR for skype.
