- It should be the "capture" control that Skype or some other
application should be twiddling to adjust recording volume automatically? Is it this control that should come first when they are enumerated, or is there some property that is missing from this control to tell the application which control to use? (ie: is there anything the alsa-driver does to help the application get this right?)
The "Capture" volume is available. Skype should choose it as default. Isn't it just the old saved setup that screws up?
Clearing ~/.Skype and restarting gets the same behavior. Skype is playing the "front mic" control instead of "capture". I see a bunch of
ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL hdmi
errors on the console when it modifies the "front mic" control. This is with skype-2.0.0.72.
