Following defect is the same as mine, and the cure was to disable pulseaudio. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/275998 I am also tracking another audio problem, where turning off pulseaudio is a workaround. Turning pulseaudio is also the last resort suggested to isolate the problems with audio (also for fc12): http://fedorasolved.org/Members/fenris02/pulseaudio-fixes-and-workarounds I wanted to isolate the problem, just to be closer to the reason. For complete test just I enabled pulseaudio again, unfortunately no help. Here are pulseaudio versions: prompt# rpm -qa | grep pulse pulseaudio-module-x11-0.9.21-2.fc12.i686 pulseaudio-libs-0.9.21-2.fc12.i686 pulseaudio-libs-glib2-0.9.21-2.fc12.i686 kde-settings-pulseaudio-4.3-15.1.noarch pulseaudio-0.9.21-2.fc12.i686 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.21-2.fc12.i686 pulseaudio-utils-0.9.21-2.fc12.i686 Additionally I did another test: started my system to runlevel 3, then logged in as root. with pulseaudio off, in alsamixer, enabled "boost mic +20db", "capture" to max, "mic" to max. then: arecord -vv -fdat foo.wav aplay -vv foo.wav unfortunatelly no help, I need to shout to hear anything. best regards, Michal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
