David, you are so cool. Hope you enjoyed the time off. Thanks for what
you do - trying to make linux work ever better on all the weird hardware
around.
I installed and diddled with the Pulse Audio volume control till I got
the webcam mike working a few days ago. Now with both Pulse Audio
volume control and ALSA mixer I cannot get anything to record,
I have a Bose cell phone head set with ear muffs and speaker built into
a call disconnect button in the cord near the headset. I plugged that
into the 3.5 mm mike plug into the jack on the front of my computer, and
THAT did not work. I presume it should have, but who the hell knows
with such terrible computer instructions these days?
I don't use the mikes that much, but when I need them for skype or
recording, I just go back to Windows where everything works perfectly .
Do I need to tell you about my feeling of frustration and exasperation
with this ridiculous problem? I guess not.
the Gnome Alsa mixer shows a checkbox for ATIR6xx HDMI (I have the HDMI
output NOT connected to anything), and a bunch of volume controls for
Realtek ALC892 (master, headphone, pcm, front, front mi, surround,
center, lfe, side, line, capture, rear mic. Maybe those mean something
to you. I have a simple stereo speaker setup connected to the rear panel.
I'll try your suggested change, and if doesn't work, I'll try to
uninstall it.
I think the problem is something much more fundamental, like UBUNTU
installer does not correctly identify the sound controller.
If you have any other suggestions I'm all eyes. My microphone setup is
utterly useless now. Nothing works at all. Fortunately, I can play and
hear movies and music.
