That did the trick Stevo. For any future readers who need it, its in the test repo. Many thanks to all who took the time to reply.

Does it show up as an input you can switch to if you install and run indicator-sound-switcher?


It does. The radio button to select it wasn't switched "on" (if that makes sense). I have now clicked/selected the radio button next to it. It seems it does not remain selected permanently but ...

Is your webcam showing as a input device in the volume control?

You should see it both in the Configuration tab as well as the Input tab.

My logitech doesnt show any output device for it until there is sound actually coming through.


Yes it is showing in both the configuration and input tabs ...

This seems to be a recent issue as it worked fine in the past. Video output from the webcam is still fine but no sound at all.

I'm still on MX 19.4

Why the symlink, instead of just making /home the mount point of the HDD?
You can also make own mount point (eg. /data) and symlink things to that.


I actually cannot remember what method I used when I installed the drives. I said it was symlink but now I am not so sure because I do have a vague ...

I've got the OS on an SSD and my Home folders are symlinked to a separate HDD to store all my documents, music, photos , vids etc on. This HDD is located at /media but upon reading the Manual it suggests /media is for removable drives and that a permanent drive (in this case a SATA HDD) should be ...
