Hi there, I see there are a few people here who have a Griffin iMic, and are using it successfully. I bought one a few months ago, and have tried several distros & kernel versions, but have never been able to get it to work Current machine is running latest Ubuntu, with kernel 2.6.12-10-386, alsa-utils version 1.0.9a-4ubuntu5. uhci_hcd recognizes the card & snd_usb_audio is automatically loaded. If I open the Gnome Sound Recorder, I can select the device "iMic USB Audio System (Alsa Mixer)" under Run Mixer->File->Change Device, turn up the volume, and hit "Record", but the resulting file is silent I've also tried "arecord -Dplughw:0,1 -f cd -t wav test.wav" & audacity using /dev/dsp1 as the recording device, again, the files are silent I have verified that there is sound going into the iMic, & just to be sure, tried both jacks/switch positions on the iMic itself. I'm beginning to think the thing is a dud, but am hoping someone can point out something I am doing wrong Oh, I have never been able to get sound from the builtin mic jack either.. the audio controller is Intel Corp. 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03) Thanks! Kenneth
