It could be audacity, though it works fine here when I do the equivalent. Well, I'm using the 1.3.5 beta. arecord -d 10 -f cd -t wav -D plughw:0,0 some.wav Ten seconds of CD quality sound recorded from card 0 into some.wav. If it doesn't work, the settings aren't really being changed even though they say they are. I think that would be a bug in the driver. You could try unplugging the back mic, maybe it is blocking the front mic from being used (overriding it). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
