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. -- *Bob Hurt* 2460 Persian Drive #70, Clearwater, FL 33763-1925 (727) 669-5511 http://bobhurt.com -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/946232 Title: [Meta-bug] Missing speaker and/or internal mic port To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/946232/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
