pulseaudio is the new program which takes input from soundcards and delivers it to the computer, and vice versa. Ie, it is an overall sound control program. The best thing to do first is to disable pulseaudio and leave just the bare soundcards. so that you can figure out what is going on. I would also advise you to unplug the usb camera as well, to make sure that you can get the onboard intel soundcard working first, and then when that works, try for the usb sound. Ie, one thing at a time. (By the way, I assume that the sliders in alsamixer are all up-- ie that y ou do not simply have the sound turned off) On Wed, 9 Nov 2011, Bruce Korb wrote: > On 11/09/11 11:09, Bruce Korb wrote: > > Does this shed any light? alsamixer says > > AlsaMixer v1.0.24.2 > > Card: PulseAudio F1: Help > > Chip: PulseAudio F2: System information > > View: F3:[Playback] F4: Capture F5: All F6: Select sound card > > Item: Master Esc: Exit > > that my card is a "PulseAudio".
