Description of problem: I tried to use Empathy to make a video call over the Google Talk network. I was able to make a connection, but the person that I called said that my voice was very low. When I looked in the Sound Settings, I could see that there was a new device which was apparently created by module-echo-cancel. I could see that the sound volume was much higher in the persistent Webcam Audio device than it was in the transient echo-cancel audio device. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pulseaudio-1.1-9.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: I'm not sure. I made a voice-only call yesterday and the person I called didn't complain as much. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make a voice and video call on the Google Talk network with Empathy 2. Open up the Sound Settings. 3. Go to the Input tab. 4. Look at the volume of the echo-cancel device and compare it with the regular microphone device. Actual results: The volume of the echo-cancel device is much lower than the regular microphone device. Expected results: The volume of the echo-cancel device should be similar to the regular microphone device. Additional info: I have had better results making voice and video calls using Google's browser plugin.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
