new problem with sound
Folk,
I'll start with an apology for raising another
problem with sound. The conflict between USB
and on-board devices was such an ordeal.
Once the conflict was solved, I was ambitious
enough to install the volume control in the
xfce4 panel.
Bad idea. After that sound is no longer
acquired by the on-board Intel device. Sound
input failed on the USB device months ago.
I've tried 3 different microphones; unlikely
that all have failed. The devices appear OK
in Skype but there is no reply from the echo test.
Another obvious symptom is that the green "master"
volume bar in the xfce4 panel can not be raised.
It can be dragged up with the mouse but disappears
when the mouse button is released.
Is there a microphone analogue of speaker-test?
Does anyone recognize these symptoms? Any ideas?
Thanks again, ... Peter E.
