<div class="gmail_quote">Hi,<br><br>I just added a USB microphone to an already working setup (see below for details). The microphone works fine according to the volume meter and playback of any recordings I make. However I cannot monitor what the microphone captures in real time. This is using Pulseaudio 0.9.15-r51 on Gentoo using Gnome 2.26.3. Any help on this would be appreciated as, while the current setup is not impossible to use it is sub-optimal.<br>
