Gnomemeeting and Soundblaster 5.1 Live!

[chrroessner]

Hello,

I have used my soundcard a long time without using digital-out. Since I bought a Kennwood receiver, I have connected my pc with the digital input of my receiver. Everything seems to work fine so far (Watching DVD or listening pcm), but two or three little things do not work anymore:

1.) My pc-speaker does not work anymore (Not so important but helpful with bash-autocompletion)

2.) My tv card was connected with line-in, but also line-in does not work anymore, so I connected the tv card directly with the receiver (workaround)

3.) And this is important to me: I would like to use Gnomemeeting, but my mic does not work. I get no feedback, while talking in the configuration druid.

My biggest problem is: KDE 3.2... has a good kmix but the amount of options is an overkill for me: 21 sliders for output, 15 input sliders and 15 switches under advanced. Sorry, I am not able to find out, which slider or switch to change, so I can use my mic. Can someone give me a short hint?

Why does the alsa project show so many options, users can not understand?

My system:
SoundBlaster Live! 5.1
Miro PCTV
kernel gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.1
kde 3.2_beta2
alsa 1.0_rc2 (or 3?)

I was very happy, if you could help me with that. Most important 3rd question. Or is there a SoundBlaster HOW-TO?

Thanks in advance

Christian
