Okay, so last night, the 3.5 mm audiojack on the front of my Desktop cut out in the middle of a youTube video and several reboots haven't fixed sound coming out of it though I can still hear the faint crackle that sometimes accompanies plugging/unplugging wired earphones. I've also tried plugging into the 3.5mm audiojack on the back of my desktop, and get sound from none of them. I have a midi controller I recently discovered by accident can be used as a USB speaker and it has an 3.5mm audiojack I currently have my earphones plugged into, so I'm not completely without sound, but this alternative has a few issues: 1. While YouTube videos and media played from my SDSD or harddrive sound normal, for some reason, this setup introduces, I'm not sure if distortion is the right word, but what Orca is making espeak-ng say sounds off like the volume has been cranked up to high, but it happens even at low volume. 2. Every few minutes, sound cuts out and I have to unplug and replug the USB cable to get it back... and how often I need to do this seems random and is sometimes under a minute(I've had to unplug and replug the cable twice during the typing of this numbered point). 3. The Midi controller, even when acting as a USB speaker, also acts like a stand alone music synth, and it's easy for it to make noise that drowns out what's coming from my desktop. For what it's worth, I'm Running Debian with LXDE, installed from the Debian 12.0.0 netinst and mostly upgraded to Debian Testing(I am running Orca 43 because Orca 44/45 breaks one of my apps' accessibility) and use Alsamixer in LXterminal for volume control. Anyone have any idea how to trouble shoot the 3.5mm audiojacks to either determine its a software issue and fix it or determine its a hardware issue(which I really hope it isn't, I just bought this desktop earlier this year and it isn't even paid off), or at least how to fix the TTS distortion or intermittent sound using the midi controller as a USB speaker... I do have an Amazon Echo that can be used as a Bluetooth Speaker, but I don't even know how to pair my PC to any bluetooth device. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx" group.
