Hi. The following device: http://www.dx.com/p/usb-3d-sound-adapter-color-assorted-5831#.WYiR0q2dK00 was tested and works regularly in MS Windows but it doesn't with both my Lenovo PC desktop and my old netbook Acer Aspire One. It does not work with headphones: no sound heard. Nor does it work with microphone, that is the purpose for what I bought it. I plug the card it into the USB port of my PC and plug a 3.5mm jack microphone into the `mic' input of the card. It is shown in lsusb: $ lsusb Bus 002 Device 005: ID 17ef:602e Lenovo Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:c312 Logitech, Inc. DeLuxe 250 Keyboard Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0438:7900 Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

But then, when I try to record, no sound is recorded. I do: $ sox -t alsa hw:2,0 output.wav , or $ arecord -f S16_LE -D hw:2,0 -r 96000 test.wav , or also within Audacity I press the red button after selecting the USB card as input device. But nothing, my voice is not recorded and not even the usual wave forms are shown. Please help whoever can.
