Comment 33 for bug 131711

I'm using a generic USB headset I bought at RadioShack (which actually has an amazingly good microphone) that worked with Feisty.

Before upgrade: All options in the sound panel were set to USB audio. Default mixer tracks set to device C-Media USB Headphone Set (Alsa mixer). Microphone, Microphone Capture, and Speaker selected. When I hit test on all the sound playbacks, I hear audio. When I hit test on sound capture, I can hear my voice in the headset. Headset works fine in Sound Recorder.

After upgrade: All options in the sound panel were set to USB audio. Default mixer tracks set to device C-Media USB Headphone Set (Alsa mixer). Microphone, Microphone Capture, and Speaker selected. When I hit test on all the sound playbacks, I hear audio. When I hit test on sound capture, I can hear my voice in the headset, but after a few seconds, I message pops up saying:

"Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat'"

If I attempt to run Sound Recorder, I only get a pop up message saying:

"Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings."

I tried messing with the volume control preferences as suggested by satkata, but this did nothing.

Minor Detail: The headset has a two button volume control that in Feisty, would adjust system volume. In gutsy, the volume control graphic that pops up will show the speaker at zero volume if you hit the plus button (it wont go up further), and it will show the speaker muted if you hit the minus button. The weird part is that neither button effects system volume at all.
