How to modify the "mixer" settings?
Need a step x step
*Alsa and sound problem 8.04.1*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was advised the following:
Open your mixer (gnome-mixer or another one) and make sure that the
recording source is set to the Mic entry. Your problem is a simple mixer
settings related problem.
When I do
$alsamixer
Alsamixer is a little difficult to use - type 'man alsamixer' (without
the ') at the command line to read about it.
Have you got the little speaker icon - usually in the upper right hand
corner on Gnome? Double clicking that should bring you up a GUI mixer.
Whats in that mixer will depend on your sound card but hopefully you
will have some tabs labeled - Play Record Switches Options - select
Switches to turn the mic on and Options to select which mic etc.
Hope this helps

That maybe so, BUT which mixer??? I use Linux, particularly
Ubuntu8.10. There are three different mixer settings on my system and
the only one I added was the Gnome-alsamixer. They all seem to effect
the system, so if one is set wrong, then all of it is wrong.
I am an old Linux user and I think this is the reason for all the
problems with sound, and it might be all the problems with video. So,
my advice is if you have more than one mixer and you probably do, make
sure they are ALL set to the settings that you want, sound and video.
