sound capture does not work

[Vini Pereira <vini_moll@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello there

this is my first posting the the list.
I have been trying to make audio recording work under Ubuntu 9.04
for weeks and weeks without success.

I have a USB audio interface (Lexicon Omega) attached to an
Asus EEE 901 notebook.

Playback works fine through the Lexicon Omega, but no sound capture.

If I go to Sound preferences and test sound capture I get the error message:

"gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile="" Could not get/set settings from/on resource."

 
I have googled this for weeks now but cannot find the answer.

Here's the output of

%  cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                      HDA Intel at 0xf7db8000 irq 16
 1 [Omega          ]: USB-Audio - Lexicon Omega
                      Lexicon Lexicon Omega at usb-0000:00:1d.1-2, full speed

% cat /proc/asound/devices
  2:        : timer
  3:        : sequencer
  4: [ 0- 0]: digital audio playback
  5: [ 0- 0]: digital audio capture
  6: [ 0]   : control
  7: [ 1- 0]: digital audio playback
  8: [ 1- 0]: digital audio capture
  9: [ 1]   : control
 10: [ 1- 1]: digital audio playback
 11: [ 1- 1]: digital audio capture
 12: [ 1- 0]: raw midi

Could anyone help?
I've run out of ideas and enthusiasm to get this working...

Many thanks in advance!
