I really don't know where this comes in probably built in to the preamp of the sound chip I seem to remember amplifier designs that worked similarly if the microphone was 2 separate microphones there wouldnt be a problem its possible acer engineers decided to physically tie them together for the internal microphone. using an external microphone there isn't this issue. microphone levels don't really need to be set per application although they could be. However who is in charge of my netbook me or google or skype or ekiga . I should be in control and currently PulseAudio grants control to whoever fights hardest. Micha?

Maybe it would be simply better to fix that, if possible? This really doesn't seem like correct behavior. _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss at mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
