Is even silence recorded? On the "Recording" tab of pavucontrol, do you see the gnome-sound-recorder or skype stream, and does the UI say that it's connected to the usb headset microphone? > No pulseaudio error messages appear and the usb microphone will not > work even when the internal sound card is completely disabled. > > dell latitude e6220: > When the usb headset is plugged in, it appears for a few seconds in > pavucontrol then disappears for a few seconds and then reappears > again.
