Also make sure your problem is not "it can open for playing but not for recording or vice-versa" which woudl indicate a full-duplex problem (and the need to install ALSA). > > On the Thinkpad, I had the same reduced set of devices available, but the > audio test worked fine with the internal microphone.

Either you are Natted and misconfigured, or she doesn't have a full-duplex soundcard and then the problem is on her side. Now I really suggest you to use ALSA and upgrade GnomeMeeting: http://www.gnomemeeting.org/index.php?rub=5&path=redhat/rh9 > Thanks for your help, Jean-Marc Petit > > On Mon, 19 Apr 2004, Isabelle et Patrice wrote: > > > Bonjour, > > > > Je suis Novice dans l'utilisation de Linux. > > > > Dés que j'ai branché ma WebCam (Creative Vidéo Blaster Plus), > > GnomeMeeting c'est déclenché et j'en fus très heureux. > > Malheureusement je n'arrive pas à configurer la partie Audio. > > Malheureusement ma version ne reconnaît pas mon circuit audio VT8233 > > (contrôleur audio type AC97) > > et reste bloqué sur Lecteur: dev/sound/dsp > > Mixeur lecture; dev/mixer, Enregistrement: dev/soun/dsp, Mixeur > > enregistrement: dev/mixer > > Le test audio bug et je ne peux pas changer ces paramètres. > > J'ai téléchargé la mise à jour et tous les plugins mais je n'arrive pas > > à les installer. > > > > Comment puis je m'en sortir. > > > > La langue Anglaise n'est pas mon ami et je le regrette. > > > > Merci de bien vouloir m'aider > > > > Patrice DEBONNE GEORGES > > Houaïlou > > Nouvelle Calédonie > > igdpdg canl nc > > > > _______________________________________________ > > GnomeMeeting-list mailing list > > GnomeMeeting-list gnome org > > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnomemeeting-list > > > > -- > ********************************************************************* > [ Jean-Marc Petit ----- ] > [ \.../ ] > [ LAOB/Observatoire de Besancon * tel: (33) [0]381 666 929 \./ ] > [ 41 bis Avenue de l'Observatoire * fax: (33) [0]381 666 944 /.\ ] > [ BP 1615 * email: / . \ ] > [ F-25010 Besancon cedex * petit obs-besancon fr ----- ] > ********************************************************************* > > _______________________________________________ > GnomeMeeting-list mailing list > GnomeMeeting-list gnome org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnomemeeting-list
