Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] Sound Problem, Suse 8.1 with Alsa, Laptop and so on

[Sigi <psusi sbox tu-graz ac at>]

:-)) i dont know why, but setting all (!!) volume levels to max worked....

I set Line in, Igain, CD Audio etc to max, now i can here the recorded file

thank you very much !!!!!!!!!!  and sorry that it was such an "easy to 
solve" problem, i really thought the level for the mic is the only one i 
need for the mic :-)

I tried it with my friend (netmeeting) and everything is ok !!!!

cheers mate
