Description Neal Becker 2009-07-22 17:36:54 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=510786

When I plug in my external usb speakerphone (fm1083), it shows in kmix.  But
now (F11), I can't use kmix to set the mic volume.  The slider doesn't work. 
It just jumps to zero and won't allow you to set it.

If I open 'advanced audio control' I can set it, and the slider displayed by
kmix simultaneously adjusts.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kdemultimedia-4.2.4-1.fc11.x86_64

What is "advanced audio control"?

For further inspection I need to see your KMix configuration. It is in below your home directory, either below ~/.kde4/ or ~/.kde/.

share/config/kmixrc
share/apps/kmix/profiles/*

Please also post the ouput of "amixer" (or "amixer -c 1" or any other number that corresponds to the affected soundcard).

The problem was that by default, the mic doesn't appear.  Hidden away under settings/configure channels (IIRC), I can turn the mic display on.

Still a bug IMO, but not the one I thought.
