Has selecting audio inputs with pulseaudio improved any since Fedora 20? On this machine, I can't find a way to use the line or mic input, by my own choosing. e.g. For wanting to record something on the computer. In the sound preferences, I have a sliding volume control next to a mic symbol, and some kind of volume indicator below it. That, from time to time, I find seems to pay attention to a microphone, but not always. Under that is a box with a radio selection button for "built-in audio analog stereo," which I presume just means the on-board sound card, or another card (if I had one) rather than supposedly being a way to select individual sound sources on a card. I can play with the CLI alsamixer tool, but that seems rather hit and miss, too, as well as being awful and extremely primitive. Not to mention being just a two volume control for pulseaudio (master & capture), or I can change to the "0 HDA Intel" sound card, and get a plethora of sliders (not all of them have a corresponding socket on the sound card, and another vague "capture" fader). If I try using a program like audacity, I get input choices in the program like pulse (next to useless), front mic 0, rear mic 0, line 0, front mic 1, rear mic 1, line 1, which is a course of experimentation to find which one might actually work, and it doesn't behave the same way each time I use the program. If I try using a program like skype, sometimes I can get it to pay attention to the mike, but never to any other input source. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.19.8-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Tue May 12 17:42:35 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
