Hello, I have an Acer Aspire 4736g shipped with an intel ALC888 audio card. Am running Ubuntu 10.10 with alsa 1.0.23 and a kernel 2.6.35 I have two problems with it, but for now I'll try to focus on the first one: internal microphone isn't working. In fact I though it was not working at all during months. Everytime I was trying to record anything I just got loud noise. But today I tried speaking louder while recording and realised I could ear my voice hidden behind the noise! Great news: the hardware part worked! Going further in my test, I found that using plughw:0,0 as a device for arecord make the noise diappear and gives me a very clean recording (where hw:0,0 still gives a lot of noise)! Unfortunately, the problem remains as most of my apps don't care about plughw or hw, and only know about pulseaudio. Does anybody knows how I could workaround this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Oracle to DB2 Conversion Guide: Learn learn about native support for PL/SQL, new data types, scalar functions, improved concurrency, built-in packages, OCI, SQL*Plus, data movement tools, best practices and more. http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
