Version: 4.2.2 (using KDE 4.2.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Unspecified Linux In Kde setting it would be great to add something more consistent regarding mike setting for sound : for example something like a vu-meter to test mike input ; this idea is because after a fresh installation of jaunty + KDE 4.2.2 I could no find the reason why mike input was not detected in Audacity and in Skype ; now it is fixed but at the end of the day I do not know what exactly cured the problem. In case of problem I suggest to add a test button to issue a consistent report to be included in KDE bug report system. Regards.
What's "mike"... do you mean microphone?
yes I do ; the idea behinh my wish report is that if you propose something to test output there are no reasons not to test inputs.

Where is "hardware setup"? I have KDE 4.8.4 and I only have "Device preference" and "Backend" tabs in Multimedia configuration.
First, you need a newer KDE version. Additionally, make sure your distribution compiles kde-runtime with the required libcanberra and pulseaudio support.
