Hi there,
I have a new build laptop (one of these, with a larger SSD, to be exact: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=LT-003-OP&groupid=959&catid=2431) and have just tried using skype with it (my OS is ubuntu 13.04).
Now, something kind of interesting happens. The problems are at the other end, I haven't experienced them directly: my microphone sounds fine... until the webcam is activated, at which point there is a high-pitched ring for the other user (although not too loud, apparently).
As I say, I haven't heard it directly, but apparently the ringing is noticeable although not unbearable (my gf said she could still hear what I was saying fine).
I'm asking this question partly out of interest: it seems strange to me that this could happen. Is there perhaps a bad wiring in the pc so that the webcam interferes with the mic? It would also be nice not to have this ringing; I have a skype job interview tomorrow. I don't imagine that I will get it fixed by then (if at all), but would be interested if anyone else has had this problem and if there is a quick fix for it.
Thanks for any comments (including those directing me to a better place to post this, if there is one)!
