<html> <head> <style></style> </head> <body class='hmmessage'>Hi the original problem  was brought into focus by googletalkplugin auto adjusting the input levels with no way to stop it. however i have just found (googled) that way. <a href='http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/chat/thread?tid=52a68f0e963deb52&hl=en'>http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/chat/thread?tid=52a68f0e963deb52&hl=en</a> To turn off the auto adjust: cd ~/.config/google-googletalkplugin    # get to google chat's directory cp -p options options.bak        # make a backup before changing stuff ! gedit options                # edit the config file now change one of the lines so that it reads as follows: audio-flags=1 Now restart you machine and google chat will now longer auto-adjust!!! Remember to go to PulseAudio volume control just to make sure the left channel stays at 0 That hopefully is enough to keep the average user happy for now > To: pulseaudio-discuss@mail.0pointer.de > From: gmane@colin.guthr.ie > Date: Tue, 7 Sep 2010 12:45:20 +0100 > Subject: Re: [pulseaudio-discuss] protecting settings > > 'Twas brillig, and john owen-jones at 07/09/10 11:02 did gyre and gimble: > > you see the problem now ? > > Hi John, > > > Just in case you did not see the reply, I have answered your question > already in a different thread.
