Monday I used Chrome to participate in a ringcentral meeting, using the Yamaha headset. When I try the same browser and headset with jitsi it tells me that it "Failed to access your microphone. Cannot use microphone for unknown reason." pavucontrol configuration is: Logitech webcam C925e Profile: off HDA ATA HDMI Profile: off HD-Audio Generic Profile: Analog Stereo Duplex Input devices: HD-Audio Generic Analog Stereo Port: Front Microphone (plugged in) Output devices: HD-Audio Generic Analog Stereo Port: Headphones (plugged in) Have I mis-configured pavucontrol? How do I allow Chrome to access the microphones?
The other thing I'd be interested in is whether his audio jack even supports a microphone. There is some diversity in whether the microphone jack is integrated with the headphone (4 contacts on the plug) or with a separate jack. So, does the microphone work in the jack using some other application? If not, that'd be his problem right there.
Let me clarify. The cord on the Yamaha head set splits toward the end. One line terminates in a black jack for the headphones (which is plugged into the green-rimed socket/port on the front of the case. This plug has three sections separated by red rings around the plug. The other line terminates in a grey jack for the microphone which plugs into the red-rimmed socket/port on the front of the case. This plug has three sections separated by black plastic rings. The read of the motherboard also has red and green jacks, as have other motherboards I've used. The green ones are for output and the red ones for input as far as I know. For more information, please ask.
