It's not about the volume, but about selecting the active input for recording purposes. Actually, I missed a twist here in my earlier email on the subject. g-v-c in Rawhide will not expose the CD input. This is because PA is working under the assumption that anything labelled 'CD input' will just be the internal connector on a sound card which is/was specifically intended for analog hookup to a CD drive, and really can't be connected to anything else. Chuck, if your system includes an input labelled 'CD input' which is actually associated with a standard 3.5mm input jack on the exterior of the system, that's the kind of corner case that may need to be special-cased for PA, so you should file a bug on it, with very specific information as to the circumstances. Really, this is bad practice on the part of the hardware designer: an input like this should be called Aux, not CD; if it can have any generic component attached to it, it's not a CD input. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
