Hi list,

oohhh, what a blunder. I did it again, bought an HP apparatus
although I'd sworn never to buy HP (being a pseudo suporter of OSS
only) again.

But, sigh, it was very good offer. My elderly mother (74) is going to
keep closer contact with freinds using this modern thing called
E-mail.

It had MS Vista on it - for about 4 minutes - and then OpenSuSE10.2
clean. Works with wireless (after a little fiddling), works with
1280x800 screen (after a lot of fiddling and searching this list,
thanks!)

Only the microphone input, needed with Skype, doesn't work.

Any good hints, what info shall I provide?

At the risk of sounding obvious, have you enabled the microphone in
the mixer applet? Mine was disabled by default.

Hi

- Eh, mixer applet?
- I fired up a KDE app called Kmix. In that I get two tabs, one output
and one input. There's a mic input, the radiobutton i s red. When I click
it, it becomes pink (sort of), not green. I push the vertical slider to
the top.

Still no sound.

Does this help?

Kmix is one of the apps. I'm don't have my laptop right now so I can't
remember how to get to the other one but it should be in the
multimedia apps group (sound controls or something like that). It's
odd that the X goes pink, though. Mine goes away and I then have mic
input. Sorry I can't be of more help. Maybe it's an HP thing. I'm
using a Dell Inspiron 5160.

- thank you for your help!
- well, on my DELL PRECISION M90 (SuSE10.2) the Kmixer looks exactly the
same - and the mic doesn't work on that machine either.
- I'll let it be for now, will look into it some day :-)

- thank you all the same!



Not sure if this helps - but on my Latitude D820 - intel_hda - I have to
select in KMix the Switches Tab and then from the Input Source drop-down
->Line and then ->Mic again to get the microphone going.?? No idea why.
