I connected my USB Jabra headphones to test out audio calling which seems to work much better with the compiled version of chromium; however, I noticed that after doing so, I am getting "static" over my audio headphones.
I did manage to turn it off by installing umix and then fiddling around with various knobs until the "static" went away.
My question is what happened and why? When I used my USB headphones to make an echo call, it sounded clear, not overmodulated or anything, so I don't believe the gain or anything was unreasonable. I also tried rebooting (and leaving the USB headset disconnected, I did manually unload the snd_uaudio, but to no avail, hence why I hoped a reboot might help) because I wasn't sure what settings might exist in memory, but that didn't help.
Steps I did:
The one that did it was setting igain to 0, it was previously set to 4 and rec was 35.
So, something is setting that automatically, or are my settings persisted somewhere?

Solved - snd_hda: line-in jack does not work
Hello, On a laptop using Intel HDA audio, I cannot get any sound from the line-in jack. The line-out jack works fine, as well as the built-in speakers and microphone. Programs using audio input let me choose between /dev/dsp0 which gives nothing, and /dev/dsp1 which gives the built-in...
