Hi! I've got a VIA 8235 running alinux kernel 2.6.16.13-4, with alsa Version 1.0.11rc3 It's giving me trouble recording. Either it is much to loud or much to low, but nothing in between. Below is my /etc/asound.state. Please can anyone help me? I tried to mute/unmute everything in a franzy when nothing seemed to work and pulled all volumes up and down. Kindest regards Julien Here's /etc/asound.state: state.V8235 { control.1 { comment.access 'read write' comment.type BOOLEAN comment.count 1 iface MIXER name 'Master Playback Switch' value true } control.2 { comment.access 'read write' comment.type INTEGER comment.count 2 comment.range '0 -
