[Trisquel-users] getting USB headset to work

2018-06-24 Thread me
I have a Logitech H390 USB headset that is detected as such, but in the Sound settings (default app), it is marked as "Disabled", and I don't see an option to enable it so I can route sound input/output to it instead of my onboard sound card. How can I do this? Also, I searched the web for

i only made one statement so saying "once again" is just pretentious - and as you did not bother to educate me as to what exactly is "the point" i allegedly missed, then one can only assume that you did not actually have one https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/ad-hominem care to try again?

clearly though, if the main problem is the lack of maintainers and tech support then forking is not a solution - the redundant parallel effort and smaller user-base would be counter-productive let me tell you what has spurred me the most into raising this issue as i see it, the target

SalmanMohammadi i notice you say you have left "the project" - are you saying you are no longer a trisquel developer? from what i see, you have been the one holding the dev team together for some time and the only one i have seen to offer mentoring for newcomers so as it would seem there

i also prefer a dark theme - i dunno if one would be chosen as default but probably not the ones you mentioned note that trisquel8 has MATE (not GNOME) as the default desktop - it does however come with a very nice dark theme called "dark mate" it is probably the most appealing default dark

Ha-ha. Covering that Apple logo with a GNU sticker is first on my list. I will give Trisquel a go. Also, I am an android developer. Has anybody used Android studio and have you faced any problems with using openjdk and not the proprietary oracle jdk?
