David, I have a Lenovo K330 with can't-get-webcam-mike-or-jack-mike-to-work problem. I cannot follow your instruction because I am, though computer literate, and ignoramus with linux. Will you please explain how to add your pulseaudio testing ppa? Don't know what ppa means or is. Give me the tool and command to use. Does it have to do with an apt command, and if so, does the package manager or update tool have anything to do with it? People won't ever ask you such dumb questions if you give a tidbit of orientation in your instructions. Thanks. -- *Bob Hurt* 2460 Persian Drive #70, Clearwater, FL 33763-1925 (727) 669-5511 http://bobhurt.com On 05/20/2012 10:19 PM, David Henningsson wrote: > Ok, I'm back on track after having been on travel for UDS and some > holiday.
