If you have a powered mic, it's better to use the line port. The mic port generally has a bias voltage and is noisy by default. If your gain is sufficient enough to not use mic boost, then try not to use it. And make sure your mic and capture/gain settings are up high enough to accommodate what you're recording. Alsamixer is your friend. YMMV ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
