Hi all!

I’ve just spent a frustrating hour trying to get audio to come out of the speakers, where the input is via a cable from the headphone jack of my Sansa Sandisk player.

I’m usin the Mate desktop (yes, I know, CentOS doesn’t support it, so this may more properly be a question for EPEL…) and the Mate Volume control Applet.

I’ve got it configured to use the front panel mic input (perhaps I
need the line input on the back panel??) but I can’t find any combination of settings that sends the audio out my speakers.

for input I’ve chosen “Built-in Audio Analog Stereo), and as music plays on the player the input level meter shows stuff happening.

for output I’ve also chosen “Built-in Audio Analog Stereo), and Connector offers only two choices: Headphones and Line Out, neither of which causes audio to go to the speakers.

when I plug in my USB headphones and configure them for output (I use them quite a bit, so I know how to set it up) I still don’t get the audio from my player.

Clues/Advice appreciated. thanks!

Fred
