I have been trying to get my laptop set up using google hangouts - chrome works fine, and I installed the google-talkplugin from AUR.

Sound is coming out from the speakers just fine ((and also on the gmail test sound output) - and the webcam is fine.

I can use the jack audio facility to check that I can take sound input from the microphone and play it in the speakers.

However I can't seem to get the google video chat to use input sound - and trying a test hangout I get a warning that my microphone is not configured correctly!

I use alsa but not pulseaudio though I read in a post on the arch forum that installing pulse made no difference for another user who had sound problems with this also.

I can't find any postings or wiki advice on sorting out this particular problem.

Does anyone have any experience or tested workaround to get this sound issue resolved?

Thanks

I just found a choice of input device on the settings for hangout that does work so this question doesn't need any further answers. Sorry for the noise. -- mike c
