Comment 165 for bug 318942

Now here's an interesting thing... when I'm using Skype with my Mic on, the Mic's volume is constantly adjusting itself downwards. No good solutions, but a simple bash script will improve things. Similar ideas will solve other ghostly phenomena:

#!/bin/bash
while [ 1 ]
do
  sleep 0.5
  amixer set Capture 100% > /dev/null
done
