Mic output shows in PulseAudio, but not sent
Posted: Sep 20th, '16, 14:43
Sorry about the garbled Subject. The details follow.
I am running MGA5 on a recent mobo with Intel sound. There is an HDMI stream from the video card, but I am using onboard analog.
A microphone plugged into the "rear mic" socket can export noise to Audacity and pavucontrol. I am trying to send it to Second Life, which uses Vivox.
This is a known minefield, but before I ask them, I want to be sure my system is not at fault.
Running the Firestorm viewer for SL, which is 64-bit, I can see:
This is present only while the viewer is running. FMOD is the correct protocol
Looking at alsamixer, it shows for the rear mic either an empty column, or nothing at all, just a label.
Does the "sink" line indicate that output is to HDMI? If so, how can I redirect it?
