I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 on a Creative Slix system. I've been trying to
use Skype. The problem is that the microphone sound is too feint to use,
despite switching on the 20dB boost. It's not a hardware problem because
I've been running Windows NT using the same hardware and it worked
perfectly.

Any thoughts?

My mixer panel also has a Capture channel with a slider as well as the Mic
and the Mic Boost channels.

That's also set to 100%.

Have you tried un-checking the "Allow Skype to automatically adjust my mixer
levels" box in Skype options under "Sound Devices"?

I have now. It made no difference.
