But now I've got a different laptop and use Ubuntu but I'm unable to<br>
get the internal microphone to pick up audio. So I was wondering,<br>
whats the best way to get audio into JACK and out of the speakers at<br>
the same time?<br><br></blockquote><div><br>First of all; there are now small, cheap microphones meant for voice-chat on laptops without a internal mic. That would give you your old setup back at less than 10 bucks. Yesterday I saw some that were about the size of half a cigarette.<br>
<br>What I suggest is to take the long stereo mini-jack to 2x rca cable you likely have in your laptop bag at all times anyway and plug it into the humble "aux out" plugs of your amp. Unlike mics meant for chat, which focus on the vocal range, that should give you the full audio range, both in bandwith and spectrum.<br>
<br>Build in mics are great for chat where it's actually not that desirable to have a full range but for Fluxus that means missing out on the joys of visualising more extreme musical movements.<br><br>Then I use my CD-changer or records at home or just grab whatever signal people listen to when elsewhere (this makes TV or pop-music quite bearable). <br>
<br>Yours,<br>Kas.<br></div></div>
