BBB. It was working okay before, but now when he speaks there is some<br>
squeaking noise along with his voice, and his voice seems quite quiet.<br>
In addition he is hearing cracks and pops from his end. <br>
<br>
It is also the case that every so often his sound will get VERY LOUD<br>
for about a half second or so without him changing any settings on his<br>
computer.<br>
<br>
The webcam only has a microphone. He is using speakers on his computer<br>
-- not a headset -- so that may be part of the issue. We have fiddled<br>
with Pulseaudio and alsamixer but adjusting volumes there does not fix<br>
much.<br>
<br>
He is running Linux Mint on a desktop. <br>
<br>
We are meeting Thursday at 5pm to try and troubleshoot further. If<br>
anybody with audio bravery is willing to help us out that would be<br>
amazing.<br>
