People, Having another go at getting this to work: - pulse audio is uninstalled - I can play music, videos etc no problem - when I talk into the mic, I can hear the output on the speakers but: arecord -d 10 -f cd -t wav -D hw:0 foobar.wav gives me: Recording WAVE 'foobar.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo Warning: rate is not accurate (requested = 44100Hz, got = 48000Hz) please, try the plug plugin arecord: pcm_read:1347: read error: Input/output error and I get a 44 byte foobar.wav file. So of course things like Skype don't work either . . Any ideas? Should I just wait for F9 and try again then?
