Dear Bill
thanks for the reply.
The Lexicon Omega is capable of sending
up to 4 audio signals simultaneously via the the USB.
The output of 'cat /proc/asound/devices' is below
% cat /proc/asound/devices
2: : timer
3: : sequencer
4: [ 0- 0]: digital audio playback
5: [ 0- 0]: digital audio capture
6: [ 0] : control
7: [ 0- 1]: digital audio playback
8: [ 0- 1]: digital audio capture
9: [ 0- 0]: raw midi
10: [ 1- 0]: digital audio playback
11: [ 1- 0]: digital audio capture
12: [ 1] : control
Unfortunately I don't have room on the disk (solid state drive)
to install kmix.
'ALSA mixer' displays two sections (one mixer section for the built-in sound card
and one for the USB mixer),
the USB mixer section is empty (no faders whatsoever).
'GNOME alsa mixer' once displayed faders for the USB, but only once,
if I try it now the UBS section is empty (and it does NOT display a section
for the built-in card).
'ALSAMIXERGUI' displays a mixer section, rather strangely, for
a card named 'pulse audio'.
Basically none of these mixers are helping me.
I can play back audio using my USB interface without problems,
but no recording.
Not sure what to try next,
as I've already re-installed Ubuntu once,
to try and fix the problem, to no avail.
Cheers
Vini.

Subject: Re: sound capture does not work
First try to see if anything sees this sound card.
First try kmix
you should see two tabs, one for the intel and the other the usb card. Open
the usb tab.
Now look for capture devices. Do you see anything?
Go into settings and see if some are hidden, and have kmix display them.
If you cannot see anything, then apparently alsa does not see any capture
devices for that card.
(are you sure it has capture?)
