Hi, Also, many thanks for the feedback! In fact, I've done that before also without success... I've tried again, and I have the following selected in Edit-->Preferences: -Master -PCM -Line-In -Line-In capture -CD -CD capture -Microphone -Microphone capture -Mic Boost (+20db) -Mic select -PC speaker -Capture -External amplifier -High-Pass filter enable Which enables the following in the switches tab: -Line-In capture [selected] -CD capture [not selected] -Microphone capture [selected] -Mic boost (+20db) [selected] -External amplifier [selected] -High-Pass filter enable [selected] And also 2 additional tabs: 1st tab is "options", and holds "Mic Select", from which I can try to select Mic1 or Mic2 2n tab is "recording", and holds 2 controls for "capture" volume Still doesn't work... and I am affraid that there's something really stupid that I am doing/missing without knowing it... as I still find strange that the console version of alsamixer only sees "master" and "capture", and this last without further items (like Mic1, Mic2 or else) to select (which I learned I could do with the space key, after "capture" is previously selected with the tab key). Well, sorry for this long post, but I tried to cover it all... hoping for some additional hints! Oh, and by the way, just reminding about the environment: FC8, Intel on-board sound-card, and using an output amplifier from Creative (which shouldn't matter at all...)
