I need some help here with headsets hearing .mp4 videos (and, I presume,
live meetings regardless of hosting software.)
I've three headsets (don't ask; bad hardware and supplier issues): two
digital and one analog.
The digital units are a Logitech H570e and an Mpow HC; the analog is a
Yamaha CM500.
pavucontrol recognizes all three for input and all microphones are seen
working on pavucontrol's input vu meter line.
pavucontrol also recognizes all three for output and each can be
selected by
name with the other output option (the line-out to the speakers)
turned off.
Here's the problem: I get no sound from the two digital headphones;
complete
silence. The Yamaha works just fine.
I ran alsamixer and turned everything up to 100% and disabled
auto-mute. No
joy.
How can I diagnose why the digital headphones aren't working while their
microphones (on the same USB plug) work?
You may have already done this, but check the playback software as to
which device it's using. I had a similar problem with my USB turntable
being recognized as an recording device. I had to go into VLC Media
player to select the motherboard hardware to get sound out of my
speakers. VLC was trying to send sound to the turntable. Sigh.
