Hi,
I'm trying to get my sound system up and running on my Dell Vostro 1500 but
I'm running into some difficulties. I DO have sound playing, but it is
playing through the headphone jack, not the speakers. Also, there is a
built in microphone as well as a mic jack, i.e. when I was using Vista I
could just talk at my computer and it'd record with no external microphone.
I've been trying to do the same with Krec but I haven't been successful
yet. I also DON'T have an external mic yet so I haven't been able to test
if the mic jack is working or not.
Thus far the sound seems to be nice when I have headphones on and I'm able
to control the volume with Kmix and mixer. Things that I've noticed and I'm
not sure if they're related are that when I watch a movie with mplayer the
sounds seems to be lagged by maybe a quarter or a half of a second. Not too
much, but enough to notice, which is enough! I'm not quite sure that that's
related though.
Also, mixer shows that mic is my recording source but mixer doesn't show mic
as a device!
By dmesg it seems that the proper codec isn't getting loaded and I wonder if
this could be the cause for this behavior. I'll appreciate any help I can
get. Thanks.
