Third release in a row - sound works at release, die after "upgrade"

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



For the third release in a row, a release which worked for recording from line or microphone at the initial release has stopped after installing the first round of updates. Is working sound input considered a bug which must be stamped out quickly?

I looked at the alsamixer, the advanced mixer, the PA volume, nothing has changed except that no sound is recorded. Tried, sox, tried sound recorder, tried tried audacity, nothing gets any signal.

Also, the ability to select output mode vanished, at install I had mono, 2ch, 5.1ch, surround, 7.1ch, etc. Now I have no choices, obviously someone made the user interface simpler to avoid all those confusing choices.

I would be less pissed-off if this weren't the third release in a row where this exact thing has happened.

No, I didn't supply details, I'm am tired of constantly fighting with three mixers and volume controls and zero useful documentation. If no one in the project can see that having alsmixer, advanced mixer, and retarded (PA) mixer is complexity worthy of the 70's, then I have to think that the distribution is for hackers only, Fedora sound input seems best suited to mimes. Clearly Fedora is not (or no longer) for people who want to use their sound system instead of configure it.
