[ubuntu-uk] Problem with sound using Google hangout

[Tony Pursell]

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone has the same problem as me and knows the
explanation/cure for it.

For a long time I had been able to hangout with my brother.  I'm using my
EEEPC (its one of the recent models with dual core Atom N550 and 10"
screen) and a Logitech UVC class webcam with a built in microphone.  I'm
using Ubuntu 13.04 fully updated.  My browser is Firefox.

After a long time with this working perfectly I now find that my sound
stops working after about 30 seconds in the hangout.  We can see each other
OK and I can hear my brother, but he cannot hear me.  If I go into Sound
Settings and switch to the EEEPC's microphone my sound comes back, but it
is very poor quality, which is why I want to use the one in the webcam.  I
can then switch back to the webcam's microphone and, if I am lucky, my
brother will hear me for another 30 seconds or so until it stops working
again.

Does anyone have any idea of how I can get the sound input from the
webcam's microphone to work properly like it used to do?

Tony
