For sound monitoring I plugged in the Yamaha headset's phone control on the desktop's front panel; the mic plug is not connected. My problem is that pavucontrol shows the device as HD Audio generic analog stereo with the port as Headphones (unplugged). I cannot find where to turn on the headphones.
Very strange ... at least, to me. Today, with the AudioTech mic connected and on, and the headset phones plugged into the desktop's front panel connector, pulseaudio-ctl displays this: Volume level : 100 % Is sink muted : no Is source muted : no Detected sink : 0 Detected source : 0 Yesterday, with the same setup it deteceted on sink and 4 sources. I've no idea why there's a difference. Regardless, ... While pavucontrol shows the headphones unplugged, I opened a video and the sound came through the headphones. Reading the man pages for pulseaudio-ctl and pavucontrol and looking for more knowledge on the web still leaves me with no understanding of why I'm seeing what I do in these two applications. Yet, as long as the mic and headphones work I can get stuff done. Perhaps some day I'll increase my understanding of pulseaudio. Hope you all had a fun and safe Memorial Day, Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
