Hello.
I am trying to use my microphone (with skype and mumble) but was
not able to make it working. I tried all entries in the fields to
select input, but no results every time.
I have removed the mute in alsamixer and the micro works
correctly. I mean, if I speak in it, I can hear my own voice
stronger, so it probably works (but there is an echo for a reason
I do not know. This will be annoying if it persists, but my first
goal is to be able to use the micro, annoying things I can fix
later).
In mumble and skype, when trying to select input device, I have a
long list rather unreadable for me, with info like card=SB (I
guess it means SoundBlaster), DEV=0 or DEV=2 (related to /dev?
There are 2 files in /dev/snd/by-path?) and only
skeakers/converters/null... but nothing related to microphone AFAIU.
The thing I really can not understand is why I have 2 sounds cards
(also in /proc/asound/cards) but I have not added any in my
computer (the only related NVidia stuff I have are graphic cards)
so I wonder why there are 2 of them (and I am afraid by the NVidia
one, to be honest).

I think this message may lack informations, but I have no idea
about what I can give except those one...
You're getting a lot of really strange advice here. As you said, your
microphone works with Linux on your system. You don't need any
additional software. All you need to do is test the various possible
microphone devices listed in the Skype Sound Device microphone options
until you find one that works. You don't need to understand what they
mean. Just try them. One of them will work.
This way is the first one I did. No one seemed to work. This is why
I am asking to the list. I also did some quick searches around the
web, but I do not know how to search when I have no idea about what
is the problem I try to answer, if you see what I mean.
Try again, now that your microphone is unmuted. Try them all even if
they seem strange. The one that worked on my system (a webcam with
microphone) read "USB Device 0x46d:0x81a, USB Audio Default Audio
Device (default:CARD=U0x46d0x81a)" which looks pretty meaningless and
not suggestive of a microphone at all.
Also, make sure the box "Allow Skype to automatically adjust my mixer
levels" is checked. This should prevent the mixer from muting it.
I tried all sources once again, still no luck. (btw, the skype's
interface for testing must have been designed to be boring, slow and
inefficient!)
I tried with mumble, too, just to be sure. No more luck.
