But i have only one set of speakers connected to computer A. To play audio from computer B on the same speakers i connected it to the line-in of computer A. In Ubuntu 9.04 it was really easy to get this to work, just opened the channel at volume control. On 9.10 its more difficult then it looks. When i open the input channel at pavucontrol and turned mute off i still hear no audio from computer B. What i found out (after a while of google'ing) is that you actually need to install gnome-alsamixer and open the channel there too before it works. Could this get more user friendly so gnome-alsamixer isnt needed anymore ? Is this a bug in povamonitor, or the way the fresh install of Ubuntu is set up ?
