OK, then another question:- is it happening with different application? I had bad Mic capturing with Skype while other applications (e.g. audacity) worked fine. This problem was solved by downgrading Skype from v2.1.0.81 to v2.1.0.47. (Well, it was the same in OS 11.1 and 11.3. I did not have 11.0 on this machine.). -- Mark Goldstein ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lotusphere 2011 Register now for Lotusphere 2011 and learn how to connect the dots, take your collaborative environment to the next level, and enter the era of Social Business. http://p.sf.net/sfu/lotusphere-d2d _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
