Clemens Ladisch writes: > Don't these applications allow to set the sample rate/format? clemens, thanks for your reply. in one application i can only choose driver/device. the choices for speaker and mic are: ALSA:default ALSA:plughw:0,0 ALSA:other device if i choose the last option, i can write the name of that other device. both speaker and mic work fine if i choose ALSA:default. speaker works fine if i choose ALSA:plughw:0,0, but mic does not work with that setting. what i would like to achieve is that i can use some other device than default for mic, but i don't know what to write there that would work. since ALSA:default for mic works, how can i find out what device that stands for so that i can write it as name of ALSA:other device? arecord -l/L give this: arecord -l **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 0: MID [HDA Intel MID], device 0: ALC269 Analog [ALC269 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 $ arecord -L null Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture) default:CARD=MID HDA Intel MID, ALC269 Analog Default Audio Device front:CARD=MID,DEV=0 HDA Intel MID, ALC269 Analog Front speakers surround40:CARD=MID,DEV=0 HDA Intel MID, ALC269 Analog 4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers surround41:CARD=MID,DEV=0 HDA Intel MID, ALC269 Analog 4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround50:CARD=MID,DEV=0 HDA Intel MID, ALC269 Analog 5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers surround51:CARD=MID,DEV=0 HDA Intel MID, ALC269 Analog 5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround71:CARD=MID,DEV=0 HDA Intel MID, ALC269 Analog 7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers -- juha ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
