When I do arecord -f S16_LE --channels=2 --device="hw:2,0" --rate=44100 junk.wav It doesn't complain but the recording is silence. Something may be turned down or off in the mixer. Or I'm recording the wrong subdevice. hw:2,1 and hw:2,2 don't seem to be found. If I amplify (40 db) in Audacity there's not really anything there. I'm using a bare electret cartridge with a 3.9 k resistor from 4.2 volts in from a lithium cell, and a 1 MFD coupling cap. I'd expect to see something when I tap on it, but nothing.
