Two weeks ago I installed Debian wheezy and was using pulse audio with good results. Then suddenly the external mic wasn't working. I removed pulse from the system and the process seemed to have made alsa the sound system. I also added some alsa stuff. The commands for this:
sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio pulseaudio-utils gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio libpulse-browse0 paman pavumeter pavucontrol sudo rm /etc/asound.conf rm ~/.pulse-cookie rm -fR ~/.pulse sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-tools\ alsa-tools-gui alsa-utils alsa-oss\ alsamixergui libalsaplayer0 Still no external mic. By 'external mic' I mean the one I plug into the round port, not a USB mic. The machine is a lenovo t400 I checked that the hardware is ok by using it under windows dual-boot. I am sure that people need more info than this, but I have no idea what that info might be. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
