Thanks Ted. I think that somewhere among all my cords and devices there is an old cam. I'll check that out. I used my phone headset for a Zoom meeting yesterday. This, I believe, is a case of the app Jitsi as there are posts on the web about this exact problem. I have yet to find a solution that isn't so far above my pay grade! I'll delve into it further soon. BTW, no luck with current Firefox as I have no video or controls much less the mic. Many thanks and good for you Ted. Stay sequestered and if you have needs let me know (though there's little one can do these days) On 3/27/20 12:53 PM, Ted Pomeroy wrote:
Brian, Sorry to jump in late, but do you have a usb camera? They usually have a mic built in and are easily recognized by your Linux system. I don't have any extras now, just gave away an older Logitech cam. I was glad to share on the meet-up and though tired today, I look forward to our next meeting. I have to study up on remote desktop and ssh use and conventions, etc, so I can bring any questions. None of that is needed for the meet ups. In fact I am using Skype and 'view/share Desktop' to help some others when I cannot understand what they are seeing. It does help to watch as people walk through finding an app, a setting or a file. Better than guessing what is going on over a phone call. Thank you all NMGLugers for questions and answers, Ted P.

Thanks Akkana, I tried that and the same message that my mic cannot be accessed. I changed my input device from internal mic to microphone to no avail. On the web it seems that is a substantial issue.

Probably too late for tonight, but do you have a cellphone headset?
My laptop doesn't have a working mic yet (supposedly it'll work in the next Ubuntu release) but the headset that came with my Samsung phone seems to work.
