14.2/x86_64: video conferencing hardware issue
by rshepard from LinuxQuestions.org on (#549F0)
If this is not the most appropriate forum for an issue using meet.jit.si with 14.2, chromium, webcam, and microphones please point me to the better forum. My post asking for help on the jitsi community forum has gone unasnsered.
I want to use jitsi for business video conferences, specifically meet.jit.si. Using the latest chromium browser I can start a meeting with my Logitech C925e web cam and watch myself futzing with the application trying to get it to use a microphone. I've tried the three I have and each time the meeting application tells me it cannot connect to the mic and doesn't know why. This despite pavucontrol showing each microphone working when I turn it on.
The three mics I have here are on the Yamaha CM500 headset, the Logitech webcam, and a stand-alone Audio-Technica AT2500USB.
I found a closed thread on github from a few years ago addressing this same issue but without a solution that worked here.
All ideas, suggestions, recommendations and other advice are welcome.
