I'm not getting any sound from Line-in on my Ubuntu Hardy machine. It is possible I haven't tried recording audio from an external source since installing Hardy. I can't find the way to activate the Gnome mixer applet. The help page says, "To add this applet to a Panel, right-click on the Panel and choose Applets->Multimedia->Mixer" but Applets is not available in the context menu I get. I do have "+Add to panel..." but it doesn't have a mixer applet.
Now that I've found: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting#Getting%20Line%20Input%20to%20work%20(Microphone,%20etc) I'm pretty sure I haven't recorded from an external source on Hardy, since I haven't seen anything like this before. I have AlsaMixer running, and have enabled the Capture view. I assume I'm trying to use the Line input on the sound card. The Capture view shows: 0 0 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ 3D Contr 3D Contr Line Mic Video Phone IEC958 IEC958 P Aux Capture Mix Mix Mono I can toggle Line (and others) with the space bar to produce this: L R 0 0 CAPTUR 3D Contr 3D Contr Line ... but I don't get a level control above it. Capture does have a level control above it, but I don't get any sound. I have the headphone out of a boom box plugged in to the line-in jack on the sound card. At least I think it's the line-in -- the blue jack. (If the industry standardized, and if the image I found with Google agrees with my box, then green = headphone/speaker out, blue = analog line-in, and pink = mic in.) Any assistance will be appreciated. TIA. -- Regards, Dick Steffens www.dicksteffens.com _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
