Every advice I find on this seems to differ. Some look positively dangerous. All are followed by adverse responses.
My webcam mike works, according to the Pulse Audio control, even while Skype is running, but Skype is obviously not listening to it. I have unchecked the "let Skype fiddle with my mixer" box, installed Alsamixer, and un-muted the mic inputs, but it makes no difference. As far as I can see Alsamixer (from the command line, the gui is useless) has no input that it identifies as belonging to the webcam.
