Hi all, I am trying to use the internal microphone in my laptop to make VOIP calls (actually skype mostly). The quality of the sound is not good at all with large amounts of background noise when I have the levels up high enough to get voice. The microphone is usable windows, and I am wondering if this is due to software filters being applied there? I have been investigating how to apply something like a low pass or band pass filter to the microphone input and the ladspa filters seem promising. However pulse audio seems to only have a ladspa filter as a sink, not for attaching to a source. Now I am new to pulse audio so I could be misunderstanding how things are configured a lot. Is there anyone on the list that is able to provide some guidance about how I can apply a filter to an input stream, or alternatively other suggestions for improving mic input quality?
