My laptop is Lenovo T400, which has an internal microphone. My OS is Ubuntu 10.10. My browser is Firefox 11.0.
The internal microphone works fine, because I can use it to record my voice using Audaciy.
However, in Google talk, I have choose "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" in "Settings -> Voice and video chat -> Microphone:". But when I click "Verify your settings", it doesn't work. Neither can I speak to others using Google Talk. I wonder why?
Thanks and regards!
I have a google voice number so I can receive phone calls dialed to an actual phone number when I'm logged into gmail (via the gtalk widget sidebar).
I see I can use Empathy to make voice calls with other gtalk users.
Is it possible that I can receive phone calls when logged into Empathy, ie, that someone dial my google voice phone number, and it pops up as a call when I'm logged into empathy, the same way it does in the gtalk sidebar widget?
(Currently, I route my gtalk calls to skype, but it would be even better if this worked seamlessly within Empathy.)
I am setting up Ubuntu. I just got ubuntu installed this morning. I went to set up Empathy with my Google Talk account, but no matter what, it says "Authorization Failed" even though I can very well use my account INCLUDING Google Talk in my web browser. Please help me - I hope this can be fixed.
I cannot hear the audible alert on Google Chat even though I have enabled sound in the options. This is so with both Google Chrome and Firefox on Ubuntu Natty. It would be nice to hear a beep of some sort when a typed reply arrives.
Any hints on what further needs to be done is most appreciated.
Thanks.
There are no video chat plugins supplied by Google for Ubuntu. They are availabe just for PC and Mac. Are there any alternatives?
UPDATE: Google has launched official video chat plugin for Linux
