Hi all!
This seems to me as if it should be a trivial thing to do, but so far I've wasted a lot of time on it and gotten nowhere:
I want to feed audio from a source (ipod, other player) into the audio input on my C7 box via either the phone jack or an external USB sound "card" I have, then I want to play it via the speakers connected to the system.
I can find no way to do it with pavucontrol, nor the default mate sound tool.
Using pavucontrol and the external USB sound "card" (quote marks because it obviously isn't a "card") I can see the input coming in, but I can't figure any way to send it back out to any output device.
I'm not wedded to using pulse for this, I'll use alsa or whatever else can be beaten into submission, I just can't understand why this isn't a normal usage, and why it wouldn't be easy to do.
All (on topic) advice gladly received.
Thanks in advance!
Fred
