An update. Fedora sets the default ALSA device to PulseAudio, and PulseAudio was not using the headset as its default source, even though I used the KDE applet to "prefer" it. After using padevchooser to set the headset as the default audio source, arecord now records from the headset, rather than the microphone built in to the laptop. Even better, I have defined ALSA devices that specifically represent the speaker and microphone in my headset, so I don't have to change the PulseAudio default devices to make things work. Here is my .asoundrc: pcm.hk201_sink { type pulse device bluez_sink.00_24_1C_36_A3_6B hint { description "Motorola HK201 - Speaker" } } pcm.hk201_source { type pulse device bluez_source.00_24_1C_36_A3_6B hint { description "Motorola HK201 - Microphone" } } -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher arequipeno@xxxxxxxxx ======================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
