Greetings,
I have a dell Latitude 600 with internal Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM AC'97
Output is fine with Alsa applications
I have listed the AMIXER output below - in practice, most of the
controls do not appear to be functional.
I tried recording with audacity, and at first could not get any signal -
by playing with alsamixer, I could get some very low distorted sound to
record.
I am trying to patch into the mic input from a headphone out - I can
hear the sound in the PC Speakers, but not record at any acceptable quality.
Any advice on how to get something to record on this laptop would be
appreciated.
aloha,
dave
