Is there any "Microsoft sound mapper" equivalent for GNU/Linux? You need to use PulseAudio Volume Control (pavucontrol). Do you have that installed? If not, it is available in the Ubuntu repository. Open Skype and PulseAudio Volume Control. Don't use padsp audacity . Just start Skype norm...

Most microphones that have 3.5mm "stereo" connectors will not work with a standard mixer. Not only do they have the wrong plug, but very often they require a 5 v supply voltage (which is usually available on computer microphone inputs, video camera mic inputs, and similar, but not availabl...

However, does this mean I'll start to get the daily builds including alpha builds? Yes it does, but what you can do is to temporarily comment out (or otherwise disable) the PPA from your sources list until such time as there is a new release version, then re-enable it to update to the new release (...

It is possible to filter out much of the annoying noise, but it would be a much better so...

The pack of LADSPA effects has been put together by Steve Harris.
There is a limited amount of information about each of those effects on his web-site. Unfortunately his website appears to be down at the moment, but here's the address: http://plugin.org.uk/
