Thank you (and robot1). I installed pavucontrol and followed your |
| 28 |
instructions. The volume was selected in the middle (100%). We see a |
| 29 |
volume meter going up and down as expected with either headphones or |
| 30 |
speakers selected. When mute is pressed the meter looks dead, as |
| 31 |
expected. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
It also shows line-out is unplugged and headphones are plugged it. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Any thoughts. I appreciate the help. |
