Use Internal Mic for Skype in Standalone AppVM

[robert...@gmail.com]

Hello,

does anybody have experience in using the internal mic inside an AppVM for skype?

I just created a Standalone AppVM based on fedora-26 template (Qubes R4.0) and attached the mic to this VM. In PulseAudio Volume Control I selected "Audio Stereo Duplex", my speakers are working on this AppVM. As Input Device I selected "Internal Microphone" and in skypeforlinux's audio settings "Microphone: Qubes VCHAN source", "Automatically adjust microphone settings: On"

I also tried to record with audacity, but I got an error message, that it is unable to capture the stream...

I use a Lenovo X220 and Qubes R4.0 (Fedora-26 template, Standalone AppVM)

Would be thankful for an advice!

Regards

if you do qvm-block or qvm-usb what choices do you see?

I have a thinkpad with int mic worked on skype but wasn't in a
standalone, looks like you may be confusing 'standalone based on
template' with App-template-based-VM ; iirc there are 3 flavors , appvm,
SAbasedontemplate, and SAnotbasedontemplate (the SA's can be changed
from PVH to HVM, SA's and AppVms are PVH by default --

PS: sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-fedora-28 or so , as sure
you know fed-26 is no longer supported or soon won't be. things may
work better with the up to date template?
