I want to do something simple. Play the audio that 's coming into my (CentOS)<br>
PC on Line-IN on my PC speakers. How can I do this? I tried the following<br>
command<br>
<br>
load-module module-loopback latency_msec=1<br>
<br>
Which seems to work sometimes, but everytime I disconnect the input,<br>
I have to do the above command again. And after a few times, when I<br>
run the above command, it crashes pulseaudio. What's the correct<br>
way to play audio from the LineIN to the PC Speakers? If this is<br>
possible outside pulseaudio, that is okay.<br></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Assuming your PC have one blue line in jack <br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">unmute "Line Playback Switch" and set "Line Playback Volume" using amixer -c0 or alsamixer<br>
