[kwlug-disc] Help with sound testing on Monday, Aug 17

[Paul Nijjar]

Thanks to a generous benefactor we may have a solution that improves
our sound quality. The tradeoffs are that the setup is more complicated,
and we have to be more mindful of speaking into microphones, as
opposed to getting a microphone to pick up our audience Q&A. 

After the test session I realized that we may also benefit from a USB2
hub. We had a setup where we were getting input from the generous
benefactor's microphones and piping output to the in-room speakers,
but that probably won't work when a presenter is hooked up to HDMI. If
you have a hub that you could donate to the cause, then you can be a
generous benefactor too.

Also, thanks to the people who helped with the testing this evening.
Having some extra ears on hand really helped.
