How can I make the default sound input for Skype persistent?

  • 772

In order for Skype to work with the mic in my webcam, I need to change the sound preferences -> Input to "0825 Analog Mono" (default is "Internal Audio Analog Stereo"). However whenever I reboot this gets reset. How can I make it the default?

  1. Unfortunately, this may be a bug in Ubuntu's integration of PulseAudio and alsa-utils. We're investigating possible resolutions.

  2. Have a look over at How can my audio input always be the webcam microphone? where I have just posted a way to make a webcam mic the default input whenever it is connected.

    It is not super easy - you need to fiddle with udev rules and install a shell script, but it does work 100%
