Double check the configuration tab and make sure it's set for stereo duplex mode (so both input/output). Are you using a USB adapter or plugging straight into your computer's sound card? From a quick search of the Yamaha Cm500 you aren't going to see it in pavucontrol under the name "yamaha". It's going to be listed as whatever sound card you have it plugged into. There are also 2 independent jacks. It's a "dumb" headset. Unless you are running some sort of USB adapter from yamaha then this is simply a matter of a functioning mic jack on your sound card. It's possible that other microphone devices would fail when plugged into the same jack. A common problem I run into on linux is that most audio devices can do both "Mic in" and "Line in". If your device is listening on Line in, you won't hear anything because it's looking at the wrong jack. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
