Linux Mint Forums

I can tell that there's great interest in this topic, as it's existence has certainly generated a plethora of responses! So to feed someone's curiosity, though I have no idea whose (yet) I'm posting a picture of my current settings of Quasmixer image.png I really do hope that *someone* can help me w...

While this has a lot of information in it, it offers me NO help at figuring out what I did to 'break' my microphone that it can't be heard by any applications. I DO have sound, All applications but one works, and the one that doesn't work is my microphone, despite the fact that I can hear my microph...

Dear Friends, I have this habit of going around to second hand and used stuff stores, and picked up a usb turntable to try using it on my Linux Mint Mate computer to convert some long playing records to .mp3. However, I could never make my computer recognise the turntable and make it's sound audible...

Thank you for your kindness and assistance!

So, in your opinion, I should disable/uninstall that PPA? I don't remember the reason I installed it in the first place.

Sorry to be so much trouble about this. I just didn't understand the necessity.

Here you go: This update affects the following installed packages: • libnvidia-cfg1-460 • libnvidia-cfg1-470 • libnvidia-common-460 • libnvidia-common-470 • libnvidia-compute-460 • libnvidia-compute-460:i386 • libnvidia-compute-470 • libnvidia-compute-470:i386 • libnvidia-decode-460 • libnvidia-deco...

I haven't installed it yet! I'd like to avoid potential problems with graphics card drivers. "This is a transitional package for nvidia-kernel-common-470, and can be safely removed after the installation is complete." So I'm wondering what is the point to installing it? Isn't installing it...

Just to uninstall it? Should I ignore this "update"?

The highest places I've ever been to was 1) a hospital windowed elevator that went up eight floors that had a marvelous view of the parking lot, and 2) a telephone pole about thirty eight feet in the air that I had my television antenna attached to, that I had to climb up and adjust sometimes.I did ...

Actually, I was wondering why the option "why?" wasn't included. Oh, I also used ClamAV before I gave up on winxp.

If money were no object, any of these would do fine for me. Unfortunately, it is an object, so I'm using a secondhand Chromebook. I'm so sad that I couldn't get the sound working without installing another OS.

Actually...I gave up and installed Manjaro XFCE which worked automagically right off the bat. Sorry if I disappointed. I will keep this in mind though. I'm thinking about buying more chromebooks and installing Linux on them.

Thanks for your interest, and your help.

Here's the results after I applied the latest 'fix'. inxi -Fxz System: Kernel: 5.4.0-107-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 9.4.0 Desktop: MATE 1.26.0 Distro: Linux Mint 20.3 Una base: Ubuntu 20.04 focal Machine: Type: Laptop System: GOOGLE product: Candy v: 1.0 serial: <filter> Mobo: GOOGLE m...

I tried this 'fix' and while Pauvucontrol now 'sees' the card and the software, it stubbornly refuses to make a peep. It now 'sees' all the HDMI outputs, but no actual sound output. I changed the settings on Alsa so the computer now sees that it has a sound card. It just refuses to use it. Despite i...

I think you guys are missing the fact that the sound DOES work, and this laptop HAS a working sound card. I had it hooked up to a television that has a HDMI output and it worked fine there. I even posted my ALSA software UI for you that has the sound card listed. So how do I make the computer use th...

Actually, I was playing around with the Quasmixer and found this: So what do I do to make this give me sound?

Nope! This computer no longer has the original operating system. It went with a struggle, but I finally got rid of it
I'm not certain that I have an empty stick big enough for another OS.
