Our meeting next Tuesday, 14th September will be an informal workshop
looking at what goes into putting on a PLUG talk. There will be
opportunities to look at our AV system, and to investigate all the
features of BigBlueButton.

PLUG in the Pub moves from its usual last Monday to Thursday 23rd
September at the Pirate Bar in Mt Hawthorn.

Subject: [plug] Micorphone problem on Pi 4
Message-ID: <CANerqP04-=2oBBOQOAw8p41LAcK+638jFqfe-58QkMPnKMPkOQ@mail.gmail.com>

I have a headset attached to a USB sound card dongle. When this is
connected to my Pi 3B it works perfectly. However on my Pi 4 the
microphone does not work. It is detected  by an assortment of websites
but sound is not passed through.

The Pi 3B uses the default Pi operating system.
The Pi 4 uses the Lite version to which I have added Xfce and various
applications. I'm wondering if I need to install some specific
software to make the microphone work properly.

Any suggestions?

Often, sound is muted after install ... install a mixer and check it's enabled.  If you are using pulseaudio installed after the OS, look into setting it up,  the defaults may either be muted,  or your device is only partially set up.

Hi,

Another problem is sometimes the wrong sound source is selected. If you 
go to "Sound settings" under the xfce sound icon and choose 
"Configuration" then you should be able to change the "Profile" to the 
USB sound card instead of the built-in RPi one.

Cheers,

Chris.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
Pulse Audio was showing the USB microphone selected with a volume of
around 60. However when I ran alsamixer, the microphone volume was set
to 0. I adjusted thjis and all seems well now
