Microphone auto adjust while using google Hangout,

Hi,

While using Google Hangout the micrphone adjust itself, there is an option within Skype to stop it, but couldn't find it in Google Hangout, and it does it also when recording the sound, which lead me to believe it is Als/pulse related.

Is there any option to disable it?

Looking forward for your reply,

Regards,

Re: Microphone auto adjust while using google Hangout,

Right,

After searching the web a little bit more - actually quite easy to fine - but I was trying hangout for the first time.

I found that solution, I haven't tested it yet; so if you do please let us know if it work.

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 no longer auto-adjust!!!

Remember to go to PulseAudio volume control just to make sure the left channel stays at 0
