Expected behavior: gnome-sound-properties capture has not been a working feature for (AFAIK) over three releases now. There should be live audio levels (green for low volume red for high) to be able to test your microphone & to see which capture devices are actually picking up sound. Tested in Ubuntu: 7.04 7.10 8.04 8.10 ** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- gnome-sound-properties capture has not been a working feature for a few releases https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277325 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
