Linux is constantly capturing my mic :S

Well I tried following this guide: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/All … nd_at_once and the part about oss2jack and after that the system is constantly capturing my mic...
I didn't even succeed with the install so I removed all of the packages but it's still doing it :S (with alsa)
So the i tried this : http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OSS … cial_Setup and i got sound working with multiple programs but Linux is still constantly capturing my mic and this is driving me crazy!

Skype gives me an error:
mixer_fd=28
skype: relocation error: skype: symbol snd_mixer_free, version ALSA_0.9 not defined in file libasound.so.2 with link time reference

Maybe it helps maybe it doesn't.

I really would like a solution to this!

My guess is that it's just unmuted. Run alsamixer in a terminal, use the arrows to navigate to the Mic fader, and press "m" to mute it. That may work.
