input audio to the default. But it gives me the option to select the
microphone on the camera, which is a usb-connected Logitech. So in the
system settings, sound, I select the one I want. Running Ubuntu. This may

Rich - Just to set the table for future troubleshooting, I noticed the only
thing consistent in all your emails is you're only getting faulty audio
through the left channel with mp3 playback through Audacity, and
