Re: [linux] Problems hearing speakers during tonight's jitsi meeting

2021-04-01 Thread Brenda J. Butler
I usually have to mess around with the settings, and plugin and unplug a headset, to get it to work. Before tonight that dance usually worked - camera, mic and speakers. Tonight - nope. My friend who was also on the call, phoned me and put his phone on speakerphone so I could listen that way.

I assume there is no on-board graphics chipset? If there was one - then just remove the graphics card. I say that - I'm not very fussy about graphics. Maybe you have finer taste than me for graphics. Hmm, according to this page it does have an integrated Radeon chipset: https://www.gigabyte
