Hello all I've been trying to fix this for months on and off and have had no luck. I'm afraid it's Skype-related, but I hope there is some general interest. My problem is that usually, when I record from my USB webcam microphone (a creative Live! USB cam), the pitch is shifted upwards so I sound like on helium. But, sometimes, this doesn't happen. I can't identify the difference. Can anyone suggest what I should be looking for? I tried grepping /sys/snd*/parameters and comparing them for when the mike works and when it doesn't; they are identical. My kernel is 2.6.17-12; Alsa version 1.0.17; a generic Ubuntu Intrepid setup, using PulseAudio.
