I have a Soyo KT600 Dragon Plus v.1 motherboard which has a VIA integrated sound card. Alsa is compiled into the kernel and playing sound works fine. I just can't get anything to record from the mic jack on the sound card. Detailed info: Linux angeliqe 2.6.21-gentoo #1 Wed May 9 19:48:21 EDT 2007 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 3200+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60) PCI: MSI-K8T-Neo2Fir, attempting to turn soundcard ON PCI: MSI-K8T-Neo2Fir, soundcard on Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.14rc3 (Wed Mar 14 07:25:50 2007 UTC). If I run, as root arecord -d 10 -f cd -t wav -v foobar.wav I get Plug PCM: Rate conversion PCM (48000, sformat=S16_LE) Its setup is: stream : CAPTURE access : RW_INTERLEAVED format : S16_LE subformat : STD channels : 2 rate : 44100 exact rate : 44100 (44100/1) msbits : 16 buffer_size : 15052 period_size : 940 period_time : 21333 tick_time : 0 tstamp_mode : NONE period_step : 1 sleep_min : 0 avail_min : 940 xfer_align : 940 start_threshold : 1 stop_threshold : 15052 silence_threshold: 0 silence_size : 0 boundary : 986447872 Slave: Direct Snoop PCM Its setup is: stream : CAPTURE access : MMAP_INTERLEAVED format : S16_LE subformat : STD channels : 2 rate : 48000 exact rate : 48000 (48000/1) msbits : 16 buffer_size : 16384 period_size : 1024 period_time : 21333 tick_time : 0 tstamp_mode : NONE period_step : 1 sleep_min : 0 avail_min : 1024 xfer_align : 1024 start_threshold : 1 stop_threshold : 16384 silence_threshold: 0 silence_size : 0 boundary : 1073741824 Hardware PCM card 0 'VIA 8237' device 0 subdevice 0 Its setup is: stream : CAPTURE access : MMAP_INTERLEAVED format : S16_LE subformat : STD channels : 2 rate : 48000 exact rate : 48000 (48000/1) msbits : 16 buffer_size : 16384 period_size : 1024 period_time : 21333 tick_time : 4000 tstamp_mode : NONE period_step : 1 sleep_min : 0 avail_min : 1024 xfer_align : 1024 start_threshold : 1 stop_threshold : 1073741824 silence_threshold: 0 silence_size : 0 boundary : 1073741824 but nothing is recorded. I have all of the channels unmuted and turned all the way up in alsamixer and mic selected under the capture section. I'm not sure what else I'm missing. I've found references to similar issues and a couple posts said something about enabling full duplex for the sound card, but that setting was in dmix configuration files. With the newer alsa, dmix is setup automatically for cards that don't do hardware mixing. I'm kinda lost at this point. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
