LM 18.3 Sylvia xfce on a 2008 Dell inspiron 1525.
So here is the problem, I am attending an online class, the instructor is using Google Meets. The video is fine but the audio is garbled. Is there a linux program out there ic can install that will clean this up?

[MrEen]

Hi chazb,

Is it garbled on your end, their end, or both?

Hi chazb,

My end.
Pulse Audio will clear up 85% of it, but it also cuts off the audio in Google Meet.

[MrEen]

Ugh! This is starting to sound like another failed attempt to code for PulseAudio.

I assume this is a browser app? Which browser are you using (insert Firefox here I'm betting) and have you tried another browser?

Yes it is indeed a browser app. And yes I am using Firefox. Indecations are that all would go well, if I had Chrome. But uppon checking Chrome for linux mint at https://winaero.com/install-google-chro ... x-mint-18/. it is suggested that Cromium might be a better choice. When I had LM 17 I used Chromium, and it is ok I guess.

[MrEen]

Well, as you've used it before, you could just apt install chromium-browser and be ready really quick to test it. No outside repo needed for Chromium on 18.x
