I'm testing "gamix" now, but I can't make my microphone work. I too have a problem. Ah! got it working, but also too low. [...] Ah, I think I got it working better after fiddling with most of the settings.
I don't know whether to apologise for causing you trouble at this point, or take pride in the fact that I've motivated you to find something out.
:-) The second. Actually, it was something I had pending but hadn't bothered to check out after upgrading to 11.0.
Well, what I was looking for was for a setting, that pushed the amplification for the mike, like "extra amplification". In gamix it is a small button in the "mic column" and the hint says "Mic boost (+20db)".
Yeah. I tried that. Didn't seem to have any effect.
The colors are so badly chosen that it is almost impossible to see if a button is active or not.
Sounds pretty much like my experience with KMix. The 'lights' have two states ('lit' and 'not lit'), but it's not immediately obvious - to me - which is which. Also there are lights at the top and bottom of each slider with no indication as to what each does and why you might want it on/off.
Exactly.
However, I downloaded Audacity and played with that. Miraculously it produces a louder mic output than KMix and also louder than anything I can get in the VM hosting Windows XP.
So Audacity does it for me.
Good. Yes, audacity is a good program, I liked it. And good to learn that it works with your VM. By the way, I don't very much like vmware 2... I prefer version 1, due to forcing to work in a browser. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
